Reason why I chose this topic: I picked this topic because I think the Maoris' culture and traditions is very interesting, and I think it is very important that they keep doing the things they do to keep the Maoris alive, because they are an important part of New Zealand's history, and I thought that people in the whole world should know how New Zealand got discovered, and that is why I chose the topic. Who are they? indigenous people of NZ Polynesian Comprise ca. 10 % of population Mostly in North Island (warmer climate)
How is their culture? "Haka" (war dance, before games) tattoos/ "moko" ( most for men, preserve identity/culture) cooking "Hangi"( cooked in the earth) fishing
About the language: - easier than English - difficult names - logical structure The Maoris today: keep up their traditions fading slowly traditions include art, theatre, film poetry, television, hip-hop traditional carvers, keep alive, creating intricate
