Evidence from both linguistic and DNA sources places New Zealand's Maori peoples as originating from the aboriginal tribes of Taiwan. This diaspora was many thousands of years ago. As do the similar family of Austronesian races.
During this period of migration, the culture of the Maori developed and refined.
They first arrived in New Zealand/Aotearoa about the 13th century.
In Maori mythology, the recent ancestral home was known as Hawaiki.
