MAORI CULTURE


he Māori are the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand (Aotearoa - The Long White Cloud). They arrived in New Zealand from eastern Polynesia in several waves[6] at some time before 1300 CE.[7] Over several centuries in isolation, the Māori developed a unique culture with their own language, a rich mythology, distinctive crafts and performing arts. They formed a tribal society based on Polynesian social customs and organisation. Horticulture flourished using plants they introduced, and after about 1450 a prominent warrior culture emerged.
