Ringatū is a Māori religious movement that originated in New Zealand in the late 19th century. Founded by Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Turuki, it combines elements of Christianity with traditional Māori beliefs and practices. The movement emphasizes the importance of spiritual connection, community, and the teachings of the Bible, particularly the Old Testament. The followers of Ringatū are known for their unique rituals, including prayer, singing, and communal gatherings. They also practice a form of worship that incorporates traditional Māori customs, such as the use of the haka and other cultural expressions. The movement has played a significant role in the spiritual life of many Māori communities.
