Māori people from Aotearoa. (New Zealand)

People series.
*Max. level 500 pcs.

"Māori originated with settlers from eastern Polynesia, who arrived in New Zealand in several waves of waka (canoe) voyages between roughly 1320 and 1350.

Over several centuries in isolation, these settlers developed their own distinctive culture, whose language, mythology, crafts, and performing arts evolved independently from those of other eastern Polynesian cultures.

Some early Māori moved to the Chatham Islands where their descendants became New Zealand's other indigenous Polynesian ethnic group, the Moriori."

Thank you all for your nice comments! :-)) I'm glad so many of the Maori's culture is very present in their modern world. It's a beautiful example to embrace & respect native culture & become part of it... :-)))

Fascinating portrait and culture! I have a book "Maoridom in Picture and Prose" printed in 1899 with black and white photos...amazing. It was sent to my Great Grandfather by his cousin living in New Zealand.
