Short answer: the names of both islands were based upon Maori terms. So really they’re both ripping off the Maorians.

When Disney apropriates someone else’s culture to make money people don’t care, but when Lego does it it ends with a lawsuit

Disney:Has moana.
Maori: ok
Lego: has bionicle
Maori:REEEEEEEE
Disney also tried to copyright a Mexican day of the Dead so they can use a name for a dessert

It wasn’t the actual use of the language that was the issue it was the use of certain words that they had an issue with. Pretty sure most people have issues with their culture being “misused” so why should the Maori people be any different.
Disney most likely used Maori words and traditions in a more faithful way that didn’t cause as much concern as alien cyborgs fighting giant robot animals.
