Yes there have been several styles of Maori Flag.
Maori is a tribally based society and while tribal groups and associations, political and religious movements have their own flags, it is only recently that attempts have been made to introduce a flag representing all of Maoridom.
An initiative by Pita Sharples, co-leader of the Maori party has seen the Kotahi tanga (a Maori unity movement started in the late 19th century) flag, also known as the Maori Sovereignty flag, adopted as the 'official' flag of Maori.
