Maori history and culture.

1 By the beginning of the 9th century, they began to exchange guns, clothes and many advanced western technologies with Europeans. White people also began to buy land, cut down and reclaim land with Maori. By 1840, 200 Maori leaders signed the Treaty of Waitangi with the British government, and New Zealand legally became one of the colonies of the British Empire.

But westerners can also cause many diseases, because Maori have no immunity to these diseases, and many people die within five days of catching a cold. From 1960s to 1970s, many Maori felt threatened and violated by western imperialism. They are unwilling to continue to sell land to the British government.

3. Maori have outstanding wood carving skills and good stone carving skills. The most famous is the Tiki statue carved on the green stone in New Zealand, which is regarded as an amulet by Maori culture and is very precious. Visitors can visit the Maori Hall and watch the traditional Maori welcoming ceremony. Every Maori hall is carved from the old tree at home, Wakaba.

Maori are called natural artists, especially in music and dance. It is said that they learned the melody and harmony of hymns from missionaries, and then skillfully used them to develop into Maori clear and cheerful music.
