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.

Why do you have maori language week?
The Maori culture is a unique and special way of life. Maori language week is a very good way to try and revive, not only the language, but the way of life, passing on valuable life lessons to the younger generations to try and keep a little of the Maori way of life. Actually I believe that the Maori culture and language is much stronger than it was 30 - 40 years ago when I was at school. I went to a school with many Maori students in my classroom and it was rare to hear anyone speak Te Reo but now I know many who are fluent in te Reo ( the Language) and not a few of these are European which is great.! My grand-daughter who is 1/4 Pacific Islander - i.e. not Maori - went to Kohanga Reo rather than Kindergarten and started school in a Bi-Lingual class. She is now in an ordinary class and going into year 3 next year but has a fair grounding and an interest in Maori language and culture. The school Kapa Haka groups include many non-Maori students. I believe the Maori culture as a whole is alive and growing which is fantastic. I am 53 now and have been learning little bits here and there for the last 4-5 years but not nearly enough. My New Years resolution will be to take classes in te Reo. To learn another's language is to gain a better understanding of them and their culture and surely is a good way to foster peace in the world. Also , many ,many place names in New Zealand are Maori so it is a smart thing to be able to correctly pronounce the names of your own towns.
How did the maori's decline?
The Maori population declined from about 100,000 to approximately 40,000 between 1840 and 1900. The cause of this was loss of Maori land and the problems this caused. After 1840 the Pakeha population saw rapid growth and by 1860, 65% of land was in Pakeha hands. The New Zealand Wars saw more land confiscated (Iwi such as Waikato losing millions of acres) and further alienation of Maori from the land. This loss of land resulted in increased malnutrition, disease and child mortality while Maori fertility decreased. After 1900 Maori population numbers began to increase again and Maori now number some 700,000.
Are the maori's exstinct?

How has Roman mythology influenced western art and culture?

Is western culture destroying the Indian culture?
Yes Western culture has the ability to affect Indian culture greatly, and I think most Indians will agree that Western influence has become more prominent in India in the last few decades. One of the main ways that Indian culture is influenced by the West is through media such as television shows, movies, social media, music videos and more. Because western media, especially American media, is so influential, it is hard to imagine Western influence into India slowing down anytime soon. Western culture, through media alone, has been vital in influencing the dressing styles, values, beliefs and language of Indian culture in recent years.
When was maori invented?
The Maori people and culture have been present in New Zealand for over a thousand years. The Maori language, Te Reo Maori, has evolved over centuries through the oral traditions of the Maori people and was later transcribed by missionaries in the 19th century. It is not accurate to say that Maori was "invented", as it is an inherent part of Maori identity and history.
