Nice article. It's a very interesting story. I'm curious as to the current state of the gum-digging industry. Is it still occurring? If so, on what sort of scale? - 14:06, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm sure "digger" for WW1 soldiers originated at Gallipoli and on the French battle fields. A lot of tunnel and trench digging were the main daily activity. 220.240.228.205 ( talk) 01:55, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
I suggest this article be renamed from Gum-digger to Kauri gum. Only part of the article is about gum diggers, but all of it is about some aspect of kauri gum. Nurg ( talk) 01:20, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

As far as I can work out, the reason that the tree doe not cover most of the north island is climate change, not the arrival of people. Deforestation by humans appears to have mostly been carried out by European colonists. With that in mind, the second sentence implies that the indigenous people living there previously were not people. Deforestation of this tree, according to most sources I can find, was due to colonization, not humans arriving on the island. Gold Broth ( talk) 05:07, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
