The Maori are an indigenous culture of New Zealand.
New Zealand is a large island in the South Pacific Ocean off the south east coast of Australia.
Some contemporary Maori are traditional, some live non-traditional, modern lives.
One tradition of the Maori culture is the Haka war dance. The dance however is now performed for ceremonial purposes, not war
Another tradition of the Maori is Ta moko: tattooing or painting the face and body with dark arching patterns.
The Maori are the indigenous people of New Zealand, they are
Polynesian and comprise about 14 percent of the country's
population.

Sadly, like other conquered indigenous peoples, many Maori struggle with poverty, alcoholism, and drug abuse.
