"Who Are The Maori ? "

Jherson Robles 1/12/2012Period 4

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 Traditional, Some Live Non-traditional, modern lives

One tradition of the Maori culture is a Haka war Dance. The Dance, however is now performed for ceremonial purpose, not war.

Another traditional of the Maori is Ta Moko: tattooing or painting the face and body with dark arching patterns.

Traditional Maori culture is truly one of the best dances in New Zealand :)

Sadly, Like Other Conquered indigenous peoples, many Maori struggules with poverty, achololism and drug aabuse
