Māori
Māori are the indigenous Polynesian people of mainland
New Zealand (Aotearoa). Māori originated with settlers from
East Polynesia, who arrived in New Zealand in several waves of
canoe voyages between roughly 1320 and 1350. Over several
centuries in isolation, these settlers developed their own
distinctive culture, whose language, mythology, crafts, and
performing arts evolved independently from those of other
eastern Polynesian cultures. Some early Māori moved to the
Chatham Islands, where their descendants became New
Zealand’s other indigenous Polynesian ethnic group, the
Moriori.
Māori are the second-largest ethnic group in New Zealand,
after European New Zealanders (commonly known by the Māori
name Pākehā). In addition, more than 170,000 Māori live in
Australia. The Māori language is spoken to some extent by
about a fifth of all Māori, representing three per cent of the
total population. Māori are active in all spheres of New Zealand
culture and society, with independent representation in areas
such as media, politics, and sport. Māori culture forms a
distinctive part of New Zealand culture and, due to a large
diaspora and the incorporation of Māori motifs into popular
culture, is found throughout the world. Contemporary Māori
culture comprises traditional as well as 20 th-century influences.
