All New Zealanders, Maori or otherwise (and I'm not talking just about those of English descent when I say otherwise... there are in fact many New Zealanders of Chinese descent also) have a political voice via our constitutional democracy. Furthermore Maori can exercise their will as a nation within the nation of New Zealand (New Zealand's self definition allows this).
China can do the next best thing for Tibet by giving them that same voice... and if the Tibetans overwhelmingly vote China out then China should oblige.
