Any Hexbears from Aotearoa here? If so, is it okay for white people to wear pounamu/greenstone? (hexbear.net)

I grew up in NZ and have a pounamu/greenstone toki I inherited from my parents.

I miss New Zealand dearly and want to wear it, but I feel that as a white person whose great grandparents came to new Zealand from Ireland, it would be cultural appropriation?

I'm unsure and haven't lived in New Zealand for over a decade, so I don't know the stance on crackers wearing Maori symbols.

Mock her for Australian stereotypes. Generally refuse to believe New Zealand isn't part of Australia, point out that they have the same flag.
