It is thought that New Zealand was one of the last areas on Earth to be settled by humans. Archaeological and linguistic evidence suggests that probably several waves of migration came from Eastern Polynesia to New Zealand between 800 and 1300 C.E.. Māori origins relate to those of their Polynesian ancestors. Māori oral history describes the arriva...
Before 1840
European settlement of New Zealand occurred relatively recently. New Zealand historian Michael King has described the Māori as "the last major human community on earth untouched and unaffected by the wider world." The early European explorers, including Abel Tasman (who arrived in 1642) and Captain James Cook (who first visited in 1769), reported encounters with Māori. These early reports described the Māori as a fierce and proud warrior race. Inter-tribal warfare occurred frequently in this...
1840 to 1890
As a result of the unrest, Britain dispatched William Hobson with instructions to take possession of New Zealand. Before he arrived, Queen Victoria annexed New Zealand by royal proclamation in January 1840. On arrival in February, Hobson negotiated the Treaty of Waitangi with the northern chiefs. Many other Māori chiefs (though by no means all) subsequently signed this treaty. It made the Māori British subjects in return for a guarantee of property rights and tribal autonomy. Both parties ent...
Twentieth century
The predicted decline of the Māori population did not occur; instead there was a recovery. From the beginning of European interaction, there were many Europeans who joined Māori culture and the converse of Māori who integrated into European culture. Despite a substantial level of intermarriagebetween the Māori and European populations, many Māori retained their cultural identity. From the late nineteenth century, a number of successful Māori politicians emerged. Men such as James Carroll, Api...
Language
The Māori language is known as Te Reo Māori, or shortened to Te Reo (literally, the language). Today it is an official language of New Zealand. Originally from eastern Polynesia, it is closely related to Tahitian and Cook Islands Māori; slightly less closely to Hawaiian and Marquesan; and more distantly to the languages of Western Polynesia, including Samoan, Niuean, and Tongan. At the beginning of the twentieth century, it looked like Te Reo as well as other aspects of Māori life would disap...
Society
Māori culture has many social customs, rituals, and traditions that are well known since they continue to be in use today. Māori protocol begins with the greeting of visitors to a marae (Māori meeting grounds). This formal welcome is called powhiri and begins with wero (challenge). A warrior from the tangata whenua (hosts) challenges the manuhiri (guests) with a weapon like taiaha (a spear), and then lays down a token offering for them (often a small branch). The manuhiri then will pick it up...
Spirituality
Māori believe all things are inter-connected and spiritual. Tapu is a force that is in all things, and has many meanings and references. It is the strongest force and means both "sacred" and "prohibited" as Māori have a complex protocol on how to work with tapu. The origin for the term tapuand some applications are unclear today. Some purposes are to reinforce the social order but other reasons are seen to protect the environment that would benefit the whole community. People, things, and pla...
Since the 1960s, the Māori have secured their cultural revival. Government recognition of the growing political power of Māori combined with political activism have led to a limited redress for unjust confiscation of land and for the violation of other property rights. The State set up the Waitangi Tribunal, a body with the powers of a Commission o...

Since 1816, a number of Māori chiefs had travelled to England and the colonies to explore options for the establishing of a Māori government and, in 1834, Busby drafted the Declaration of the Independence of New Zealand, ratified by a number of northern chiefs in 1835.

New Zealanders: Māori and European. New Zealand got its name (originally Nieuw Zeeland) after the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman reached its shores in 1642. The early European explorers and others who arrived after Tasman referred to Māori, the indigenous people, as ‘New Zealanders’. Māori at first thought these visitors were ancestors or ...
As British subjects Māori, like all New Zealanders, had easy access to Australia. But few migrated until the 1960s. Around this time, many Māori made the decision to move from rural to urban areas within New Zealand, and the next step for some was Sydney or Melbourne.
