The 마오리 are the indigenous people of 뉴질랜드, known for their rich culture, language, and traditions. They arrived in New Zealand from Polynesia around the 13th century and have a unique social structure based on tribes called Iwi. The Māori language, or Te Reo Māori, is an official language of New Zealand and is an essential part of their identity. Māori culture is characterized by traditional arts such as carving, weaving, and performing Haka, a ceremonial dance. The Māori also have a deep connection to the land, which is reflected in their beliefs and practices. Their history and customs continue to play a vital role in New Zealand's national identity.
