MAORI

Maori are the host people of New Zealand. Originally they were hunters, but soon became peasants, living of agriculture. Today about 500,000 Maori are mainly living in the cities, but they remain closely connected to their tribes. Their tribal groupings are derived from the people of each canoe, settling in New Zealand in the early times.
