By Anna Ching, January 11 2012
Culture and Geography
The Maori are an indigenous culture of New Zealand.
New Zealand is a large island in the South Pacific Ocean off the south east coast of Australia.
Some contemporary Maori are traditiobnal, some live non-traditional,modern lives.
One tradition of the Maori culture is the Haka war dance.
Another tradition or the Maori is Ta moko: tattooing or painting the face and body with dark arching patterns.
Traditonal Maori culture is truly traditional.
Sadly,like other conquered indigenous peoples.many Maori struggle with poverty,alchoholism and drug abuse.
