The 마오리족 are the indigenous people of 뉴질랜드, known for their rich culture and traditions. They arrived in New Zealand from Polynesia around the 13th century. The Māori language, or 테레오 마오리, is an official language of New Zealand and is an important part of their identity. Māori culture is characterized by unique art forms, including 타타우, or traditional tattooing, and 하카, a ceremonial dance. The Māori have a strong connection to their land and ancestors, which is reflected in their customs and beliefs. Today, they continue to play a vital role in New Zealand's society and cultural landscape.
