I don’t know, I have a not insignificant amount of indigenous blood (not Maori) and without any cultural ties I don’t think it’s significant as an individual. My family was raised and then raised me with no real connections to any of our hereditary cultures.
I don’t really have an interest in submerging into a culture that is foreign to me, nor am I interested in attempting to benefit from any sort of reparations. I’m just a white girl with a large fraction of indigenous blood.

That was my “wants to” bit was supposed to cover. It’s entirety your choice and no-one else’s.
I don’t get to tell you “how Māori” you are, or specifically if you are/not Māori enough.
