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 Austrailia.
Some contemporary Maori are traditional, some live non-traditional, modern lives.
One Tradition of the Maori culture is the Haka war dance. The dance however is
now performed for ceremonial purposes, not war.
Another tradition of the Maori is Ta moko: tattooing or painting the face and body with dark arching
patterns.
Traditional Maori culture is truly very interesting.
Sadly, like other conquered indigenous peoples, many Maori struggle with poverty,alcoholism and drug
abuse.
