Presentation of New Zealand


History
Maori didn’t have their letter, so history was talked form mouth to mouth. Now I’m going to talk about some legend.
The Maori are first group of people who came to New Zealand. They came from HAWAIKI by canoe. Today HAWAIKI is called Polynesia. Then population of Maori began to increase and resources decreased. Then Maori divided into some group and began to fight each group. In this point, HAKA was born. People danced HAKA to scare opponent and make them believe power.
Since 1642, European immigrated especially from the British and the Dutch. Maori concluded a treaty with England on February 6th in 1840. It means Maori became English colony. Today this day is Waitangi anniversary. Maori have strong will, so they were treated equally to the European, New Zealand person after they became colony. Maori cherish their culture, for example word, national anthem, education. So there are many New Zealander who cherish Maori culture.
