It's not even a indigenous thing. Half my workmates are called uncle by my son and he's as ginger as LingyIf you think 'uncle' means something then you don't understand indigenous people the world over.
My wife is Maori. I've met that many 'uncles' that she doesn't even know it's not funny.
It's akin to 'bro' but just directed differently to an elder.
