There is many settler of New Zealand. For example, Polinesian, European, Chinese, Asian and so on. New Zealand has been influenced from the culture in various countries. Especially, Maori's culture is valued. About 1/7 of the population of New Zealand is Maori now. The Maori's history has been told by the mouth, because Maori did not have letter originally. I will explain about History of Maori.
People do not still know clearly where the ancestor of the Maori had emigrated in New Zealand. However, it is said that there is a possibility of emigrating from Asia about 15000 years ago. It is also said that there is a possibility they have passed Japan, because there is similar points Maori word to Japanese. it is certain that they went over the sea by a large-scale canoe. It is called "Waka".
The population of the Maori increased, and the resource decreased fairly afterwards. It is said that "Haka" of a traditional dance of the Maori was born at this time. Still now the rugby team All Blacks in New Zealand also still dances haka before the game. Haka shows their power, and it is a dance to make them frighteningly as for the opponent.
The European has immigrated since 1642. Representative Britain's William Hobson connected the agreement to make New Zealand a colony in Britain with tribe's each patriarch on February 6, 1840. This agreement is called "Waitangi agreement". February 6 is an anniversary of Waitangi now.
The influence of Maori culture and Maori word is seen at national anthem, word, name of a place, subjects and courses of the school. People in New Zealand people treasure the culture of Maori.
