Maori Maori
The Maori people are Polynesian, with origins tracing back to islands in East Polynesia. There is no evidence to support the theory that the Maori came from China. Their ancestors likely navigated the Pacific Ocean from other Polynesian islands such as Tahiti.
In Maori, "haere mai" means "welcome" or "come here." It is often used as a greeting to invite someone to come closer or to indicate that they are welcome.
