16. Maori culture
Maori were the first to arrive in New Zealand, journeying in canoes
from Hawaiki about 1,000 years ago. A Dutchman, Abel Tasman,
was the first European to sight the country but it was the British who
made New Zealand part of their empire.
In 1840, the Treaty of Waitangi was signed, an agreement between
the British Crown and Maori. It established British law in New
Zealand and is considered New Zealand’s founding document and
an important part of the country's history. The building where the
treaty was signed has been preserved and, today, the Waitangi
Treaty Grounds are a popular attraction.
You'll find amazing Maori historic sites and taonga (treasures) - as
well as beautiful colonial-era buildings - dotted throughout the
country. A walk around any New Zealand city today shows what a
culturally diverse and fascinating country they have become.
