Their traditional history describes their origins in terms of waves of migration that culminated in the arrival of a “great fleet” in the 14th century from Hawaiki, a mythical land usually identified as Tahiti. This historical account provides the basis for traditional Māori social organization and is generally supported by archaeological discoveries, which have dated Māori arrival in New Zealand to about 1300 ce. Members of each tribe (iwi) recognized a common ancestry (which might be traced through either or both parents) and common allegiance to a chief or chiefs (ariki). Traditionally, at the day-to-day level, the most important social groups were the hapū (subtribe), which was the primary landholding group and the one within which marriage was preferred, and the whānau, or extended family.

The Māori are a Polynesian people indigenous to New Zealand, with origins traced back to migrations from a mythical land called Hawaiki, likely Tahiti, around the 14th century. They are organized into tribes (iwi), subtribes (hapū), and extended families (whānau), with a strong emphasis on ancestry and land rights. Māori culture includes unique traditions such as the hongi greeting, hāngī cooking, and oratory in the Māori language, which was made an official language of New Zealand in 1987. Māori have been active in New Zealand's governance, with reserved parliamentary seats and significant land settlements.

When someone captured in battle was dying, or about to be executed on another tribe’s land, Maori people might request, ‘Tukua mai he kapunga one ki au, hei tangi’ (send me some soil from home that I might grieve over it).

The Maori are New Zealand's native people.They are originally from East Polynesia. They arrived between 1320 and 1350. They created a unique culture with their own language and traditions. Some of them traveled to the Chatham Islands, where they became the Moriori.

When Europeans came in the 1700s, it led to difficult times for the Māori. They faced new diseases, wars, and lost some of their land, which caused their population to decrease. In the 20th century, the Maori started to bring back their culture, language, and traditions.

Currently, Maori people make up about 20% of New Zealand’s population. They are very active in their society although they continue to deal with social and economic issues.

I buried its guts
Sprouted a tree, now you got coconuts

Don't mess with Maui when he's on a break-away!
