Before Europeans arrived, the Maori people of New Zealand lived in tribal communities with a strong emphasis on oral tradition, art, and spiritual beliefs. They had a deep connection to the land and sea, and their society was structured around whanau (family) units led by chiefs. Warfare and intertribal conflicts were also common.

Why do maori fail at being christian?
Christianity is a Pakeha (non-Maori) religion but Maori do not fail at it; Maori like other Polynesians, are a deeply spiritual people. Many maori did embrace Christianity when it was first introduced to Aotearoa New Zealand. This was partly due to the attitude of Europeans who treated non-christians as little more than animals. Other Maori created their own syncretic religions that had a veneer of Christianity in order to protect their Maori beliefs which the Europeans wanted to stamp out. Maori in fact excelled at Christianity because Maori is an oral tradition where everything is memorised, so Maori were able to easily memorise the entire bible and thus engage in Christian theology very successfully.
