New Zealand: 'Maori Maiden'. A young Maori woman, early 20th century

The Maori are the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand. The Maori originated with settlers from eastern Polynesia, who arrived in New Zealand in several waves of canoe voyages at some time between 1250 and 1300 CE. Over several centuries in isolation, the Polynesian settlers developed a unique culture that became known as the 'Maori', with their own language, a rich mythology, distinctive crafts and performing arts. Early Maori formed tribal groups, based on eastern Polynesian social customs and organisation. Horticulture flourished using plants they introduced, and later a prominent warrior culture emerged. The arrival of Europeans to New Zealand starting from the 17th century brought enormous change to the Maori way of life. Maori people gradually adopted many aspects of Western society and culture. Initial relations between Maori and Europeans were largely amicable, and with the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, the two cultures coexisted as part of a new British colony. Rising tensions over disputed land sales led to conflict in the 1860s. Social upheaval, decades of conflict and epidemics of introduced disease took a devastating toll on the Maori population, which went into a dramatic decline, but by the start of the 20th century, the Maori population had begun to recover, and efforts were made to increase their standing in wider New Zealand society. Traditional Maori culture has enjoyed a revival, and a protest movement emerged in the 1960s advocating Maori issues.

Traduction automatique: Les Maoris sont le peuple polynésien indigène de Nouvelle-Zélande. Les Maoris sont originaires de colons de l'est de la Polynésie, arrivés en Nouvelle-Zélande au cours de plusieurs vagues de voyages en canoë entre 1250 et 1300 de notre ère. Pendant plusieurs siècles d'isolement, les colons polynésiens ont développé une culture unique connue sous le nom de « Maori », avec leur propre langue, une mythologie riche, un artisanat et des arts du spectacle distinctifs. Les premiers Maoris formèrent des groupes tribaux, basés sur les coutumes et l'organisation sociales de la Polynésie orientale. L'horticulture a prospéré grâce aux plantes qu'ils ont introduites, et plus tard une importante culture guerrière a émergé. L'arrivée des Européens en Nouvelle-Zélande à partir du XVIIe siècle a apporté d'énormes changements dans le mode de vie des Maoris. Les Maoris ont progressivement adopté de nombreux aspects de la société et de la culture occidentales. Les relations initiales entre Maoris et Européens étaient largement amicales et avec la signature du Traité de Waitangi en 1840, les deux cultures coexistèrent au sein d'une nouvelle colonie britannique. Les tensions croissantes liées aux ventes contestées de terres ont conduit à un conflit dans les années 1860. Les bouleversements sociaux, des décennies de conflits et des épidémies de maladies introduites ont eu des conséquences dévastatrices sur la population maorie, qui a connu un déclin spectaculaire, mais au début du 20e siècle, la population maorie avait commencé à se rétablir et des efforts ont été faits pour augmenter. leur position dans la société néo-zélandaise au sens large. La culture traditionnelle maorie a connu un renouveau et un mouvement de protestation a émergé dans les années 1960, défendant les questions maories.
