The Maori are indigenous culture of New Zealand
New Zealand is a large island in the south pacific ocean off the south coast of australlia
Some contemporary Maori are traditional, some live non traditional, some live non-traditional, modern
lives.
One traditional of the Maori culture is the haka war dance. The dance however is now performed for
ceremonial purposes, not war.
Another traditional of the Maori is Ta moko tattooing or painting the face and body with dark arching
patterns.
Traditional Maori culture is truly wierd
Sadly, like other conquered indigenous peoples, many Maori struggle with poverty, alcoholism and
drug abuse.
