Which country do the Maori people originate from?

The Maori are the native people of New Zealand. Maori come from New Zealand. The spiritual homeland for Maori is Hawaiiki. No one is really sure about where this place is but there are many theories of where it might be. The Maori people are most certainly the "Tangata Whenua" or the native race of New Zealand. There are Tangata Whenua/ Maori Iwi groups whose whakapapa indicate that they are native to Aotearoa. These same Tangata Whenua do not have any history of migrating from another place to this whenua. They have always been in Aotearoa. The simple truth is though, no one has yet come up with any proof positive where Maori came from, so the consider themselves indigenous to New Zealand.
