The Maori of New Zealand
The Maori arrived in New Zealand from other Polynesian islands over a thousand years ago. They were the first people to live there. They made beautiful wooden buildings with pictures cut into the wood. There are about 280,000 Maori today. Maori have brown skin, dark brown eyes, and wavy black hair.
In 1840, they agreed to become a British colony, and they learned European ways quickly.Today there are Maori in all kinds of jobs. They attend schools anduniversities and become lawyers and scientists. There are Maori in the government. Most of them live like the white New Zealanders.
However, the Maori do not forgot their traditions. Children learn the language, music and old stories. They have yearly competitions in speaking, dancing, and singing. The Maori live a comfortable, modern life, but they keep their traditions by passing them to their children.
