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.

The Maori

They are native people in New Zealand. There is Maori village in Rotorua city. It's called "Whakarewarewa."The population is three hundred thousand. They account for fourteen percent of the entire population of New Zealand and they are the most populous minority group in New Zealand. People respect them, so that first of national anthem is Maori language. The Maori are human race who come to New Zealand first.

There is interesting culture in Maori. People touch with nose and nose each other as greeting. This is called “HANGI.” They think soul inhabit nose.

The Maori dance the dance that is called “HAKA.” This dance expresses identity of New Zealand. Especially it charge thought of recovery of New Zealand. They dance using all body, hand, foot, voice, eyes, tongue. So this dance seems to threaten. Today rugby team in New Zealand (:All Blacks)dance HAKA before beginning game.
