Maori is the Maori religion, which is based on traditional Maori mythology and beliefs. Some Maori follow all sorts of Pakeha religions including many types of Christianity, from Mormonism to Rastafarianism.In the early days of European settlement, Maori tried to get along with the Pakeha by accepting their religion, so some churches developed that are a Maori version of other Pakeha religions. One example is the Ratana church.

This event is really Significant to New Zealand because this event had an impact about alienation of Maori land. Te Roopu Matakite, ('Those with Foresight') was launched at a Hui organized by Te Rarawa leader Whina Cooper in Mangere Marae. Whina Cooper believed it was time to make Māori complaints more visible. Te Rōpū Matakite aimed to unite Māori across iwi boundaries.The 1975 Maori land march was a pivotal event in the protest movement. Respected Maori leader Whina Cooper led this march from the Far North to Wellington. There she presented the Memorial of Rights to Prime Minister Bill Rowling. It called for 'not one more acre' of Maori land to be taken, and was signed by 200 Maori elders. Another petition had more than 60,000 signatures, so they collected more than 60 200 signatures all up.The march catapulted Maori concerns about land into the public area at a vital time. The 5,000 marchers arrived in Wellington just before Parliament passed the landmark Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975, creating the Waitangi Tribunal.Although Te Roopu Matakite collapsed as various factions wanted other ways of continuing their protest. Whina Cooper publicly distanced herself from one group which established a tent embassy on the steps of Parliament. Another group went on a march around the East Coast.It is a testament to Whina Cooper's personal mana that she had managed to hold such a various group together for eight months.

The Maori traditionally lived in dwellings called whare, which were constructed using timber frames and thatched roofs made from natural materials like harakeke (flax). These structures were designed to be portable and suited the semi-nomadic lifestyle of the Maori people. Today, many Maori live in modern homes like other New Zealanders.
