Maori culture and traditions in New Zealand
The roots of Maori culture
The Maori, New Zealand's indigenous people, have a long history dating back to the 8th century. Their culture is deeply connected to the country, with the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 being a significant milestone that granted land rights to the Maori. Today they make up around 15 percent of the population and play a central role in New Zealand society.
Maori traditions
A central element of Maori culture is the language Te Reo Maori, which is recognized as an official language alongside English. Traditional art, including wood carvings and the famous Ta moko tattoos, contribute significantly to the cultural identity. The Maori preserve their customs and traditions through song, dance and the haka, a powerful ritual dance that is known throughout the world.
Experience Maori culture
For those relocating overseas, especially those planning a move to New Zealand, there is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich Maori culture. A visit to a marae, a traditional gathering place, allows visitors to experience authentic Maori ceremonies and delve deeper into the Maori way of life. Places like Tamaki Village in Rotorua offer immersive experiences, from traditional ceremonies to a hangi meal, where food is cooked in an earth oven pit.
