Here is a couple of quotes I found concerning this,
-------------------
"If you visit the Maori of New Zealand or Native Americans, all of them proclaim Bob Marley and Rasta because it spoke to their spiritual needs, their resistance to oppression,"
"Marley's mark on the indigenous peoples of the South Pacific has been profound, despite the fact that he only played there once, a quarter of a century ago, in the spring of 1979. The Maori people of New Zealand were particularly taken by his revolutionary stance, and in his wake, a band called Herbs was formed, composed of Tongans, Samoans, and New Zealanders, singing protest songs to a reggae beat."
