The Attitude about Sherpas is appalling in NZ as well
When Sir Ed Hillary was getting a part of Mount Cook Named after Him I put in a Submission that We Also Honour Sherpa Tenzing
Which was dispatched to the Nations Media as well as Nepal. It was utterly Ignored here. And Ultimately Declined by the NZGB LINZ board.
Mean While a year later in Nepal they decided they would like to Name two of their Peaks One Hillary and One Tenzing to show their gratitude.
I suppose NZ is embarrassed by Sherpa Tenzing as it is unclear if he stood first on the Top of Everest because Both He and Hillary never would Say.
