Edited sentence: " Māori youth utilize the social space that breakdancing provides them in a very dynamic fashion, she says, gaining recognition and notions of increased self-worth in the process.A 1992 song by the group Moana and the Moa Hunters called out to young Māori to learn the language and to accept their heritage.According to Tania Kopytko, Māori youth have always had a difficult time maintaining ties with the traditional Māoritanga culture, especially lacking "the commitment and effort necessary for a knowledge of [it]".Finally, the mass consumption of British punk in 1982 marked the first real establishment of a youth culture and, more importantly, paved the way for such a warm reception of foreign forms with the influx of what Kopytko calls the "breakdance package".For this reason, Māori youth import mainstream and popular cultural icons, identities, and lifestyles in considerable quantities.In  years, indigenous peoples in general have made attempts to reconnect with their youth.In this way, facilitation by a pre-existing youth culture and identification with the African-American cause have both made importing the associated hip hop culture quite easy.Indeed, "breakdance provided a very strong and positive identity that did much to raise [Māori] self esteem and realize their capabilities.Kopytko also says that the socio-political position of African Americans resisting a dominant white culture mirrors the situation of Māori, Polynesian, and  even poor-white youth resisting the oppressive white forces which occupy the higher economic strata of society in New Zealand.Kopytko suggests that this appropriation of breakdancing allowed the later arrival of rap to become "a vehicle for vernacular expressions of Māori militancy".Most typically, these Māori youth will take after the African-American hip hop culture, as its perceived mainstream status makes it readily accessible to them.One feature of this youth import culture, breakdancing, arrived in New Zealand as early as 1983 from Western Samoa, confirms Kopytko.The music video for this song shows images of Maori in traditional dress doing traditional dances, yet it has a modern-hip hop beat.The video targets youth through its rhythms while it educates them about their heritage
