Maori are the first nation peoples of New Zealand and the earliest settlement sites date to about 1300CE.
A significant number of maori people will unite to help contribute to the overall cohesion and operation of this nation. It is very likely that one day a Maori will lead the government of New Zealand.
The maori word for nation or tribe is 'Iwi'. Iwi are derived from the great waka (canoe)by which they arrived in New Zealand from Hawaiki; for example the Tainui Iwi of Waikato and the King country are descendants of people who journeyed to Aotearoa (NZ) on the Tainui canoe. Iwi are divided into tribes and sub-tribes (hapu) and extended family groups (whanau). Tangata whenua is a name Maori use to describe themselves which simply means 'people of the land'.

Pakeha, which means non-Maori. Pakeha New Zealanders are uniquely fortunate in that, unlike the non-native people of other European colonised countries, they are honoured by being called by a name given to them by the native people.

Their are 3 main Beverages: Kumaranga ( Corn Beverage) Ki hikairanga ( Beverage made from beer, Beetroot, and Carrots) and makariki ( a beverage made from watercress,glucose and Strawberries) These all were popular in the Northland area in the 1600's til the 1900's and are still around today made by maori who have had the recipies passed down from nation to Nation.
Maori is the plural of Maori.
Maori is a society of many hundreds of thousands of people all with their own individual opinions but generally Maori see the Treaty as a promise yet to be fulfilled. They see that though the Treaty is not perfect, it is all they have and more than many other colonised indigenous minorities have. Maori believe that both Maori and Pakeha must work towards a full ratification of the Treaty for New Zealand to 'grow up' as a nation.
