Nuova Zelanda: Ritratto di un capo Maori. Litografia di Louis Auguste de Sainson (1800-1887), 1833. I Maori sono gli indigeni polinesiani della Nuova Zelanda. Arrivarono in Nuova Zelanda dalla Polinesia orientale in diverse onde prima del 1300 d.C. Nel corso di diversi secoli isolati, i Maori svilupparono una cultura unica con la loro lingua, una ricca mitologia, artigianato distintivo e arti dello spettacolo. Formarono una società tribale basata su costumi e organizzazione sociali polinesiani. Fiorì l'orticoltura, e dopo circa il 1450 emerse una cultura guerriera di spicco.

The Maori are the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand. They arrived in New Zealand from eastern Polynesia in several waves at some time before 1300 CE. Over several centuries in isolation, the Maori developed a unique culture with their own language, a rich mythology, distinctive crafts and performing arts. They formed a tribal society based on Polynesian social customs and organisation. Horticulture flourished, and after about 1450 a prominent warrior culture emerged. The arrival of Europeans to New Zealand starting from the 17th century brought enormous change to the Maori way of life. Maori people gradually adopted many aspects of Western society and culture. Initial relations between Maori and Europeans were largely amicable, and with the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 the two cultures coexisted as part of a new British colony. However, rising tensions over disputed land sales led to conflict in the 1860s. Social upheaval, decades of conflict and epidemics took a devastating toll on the Maori people. But by the start of the 20th century the Maori population had begun to recover, and efforts were made to increase their standing in wider New Zealand society. A marked Maori cultural revival gathered pace in the 1960s and is continuing.
