You know technically we aren't truly the natives. There were the Mori Oris before us, but we wiped 'em out so supposedly that makes us native. We were here before The White Folk though.
To answer your question though, Maori culture is very actively pursued in NZ. As such, we learn how to weave baskets, catch fish with traditional methods, cook in traditional ways (which happen to make food taste good too), and very big on our ceremonies, which have unfortunately been bastardised a bit for things like our rugby teams and such. (When you see the All Blacks perform the haka at a rugby match.) But most of them aren't maori. My dad never taught me the maori language, as he thought maori culture was going to be dead in the next generation, before we had this whole saveour culture thing.
I don't gather fruit lol, but I live in Mangaore Village, which is in a (very) rural area, and I have (own on another farmer's dairy farm) several cows and a number of sheep that I purchased a while back which give me good turn around. Always have plenty of milk too

I would say that bushcraft is something that most New Zealanders have, whether we have native blood or not, as we tend to have a love of outdoors, fishing and hunting. Personally, I don't give much weight to the fact I have native blood, I just wish we would all just be NZ'ers, it annoys me that having maori blood either gives you government preferential treatment (they pay for heaps of stuff), or your typical racism which is silly since I've never met a person that had more than half maori blood. I'm a halfcast.
If you want to see a true Maori, don't watch any of our political channels, or the ones giving big speeches, they are what could be agreeably termed as the radical minority, they jump up and down about issue that the rest of us aren't that concerned about, and the people that still hold strongest to our roots don't either.
I don't know too much about that side of it I spose, I don't really care about politics. 'Nuff said.
