New Zealand in particular is held up as an example of how to properly recruit and promote indigenous armed forces members. New Zealand Maori make up almost half the army, and 19% of their armed forces, as compared with just 4.4% of the population. The Maori warrior culture is also incorporated into their army. All recruits are given a Maori initiation rite that takes them into the warrior tribe. Can Canada learn anything from New Zealand's example in the promotion and incorporation of indigenous culture into the armed forces?
