Mauri

Māori are the indigenous people of New Zealand, known for their rich culture, language, and traditions. They arrived in New Zealand from Polynesia over a thousand years ago. The Māori language, Te Reo Māori, is an official language of New Zealand, and traditional practices include carving, weaving, and performing the haka, a ceremonial dance. The Māori have a deep connection to the land and nature, which is reflected in their worldview and spiritual beliefs. Today, they actively contribute to New Zealand's society, celebrating their heritage while engaging in modern life.
