Māori or Maori can refer to:
New Zealand (/njuːˈziːlənd/ new-ZEE-lənd, Māori: Aotearoa [aɔˈtɛaɾɔa]) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses – that of the North Island, or Te Ika-a-Māui, and the South Island, or Te Waipounamu – and numerous smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometres (900 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. During its long isolation, New Zealand developed a distinctive biodiversity of animal, fungal and plant life. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the Southern Alps, owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, while its most populous city is Auckland.
Somewhere between 1250 and 1300 CE, Polynesians settled in the islands that were to become New Zealand, and developed a distinctive Māori culture. In 1642, Abel Tasman, a Dutch explorer, became the first European to sight New Zealand. In 1840, representatives of the British Crown and Māori Chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi, making New Zealand a British colony. Today, the majority of New Zealand's population of 4.5 million is of European descent; the indigenous Māori are the largest minority, followed by Asians and Pacific Islanders. Reflecting this, New Zealand's culture is mainly derived from Māori and early British settlers, with recent broadening arising from increased immigration. The official languages are English, Māori and New Zealand Sign Language, with English predominant.

The Maori people of New Zealand came from eastern Polynesia in waves of canoes sometime between 1250 and 1300 AD. Over the centuries, they developed a rich and complex society that included a fierce and terrifying warrior culture. Europeans described the Maori warriors as large men, although women could be warriors as well, who had extensive facial tattoos. While they looked fearsome, their intense physical appearance is only the start of what made these warriors so terrifying. →Subscribe for new videos every day! https://www.youtube.com/user/toptenznet?sub_confirmation=1 → → GET A T-SHIRT - http://www.toptenz.net/toptenz-t-shirts →Top 10 Objects That Were Clearly Invented Just to Annoy Physics: https://youtu.be/0MVGeRa-vLo Entertaining and educational top 10 lists from TopTenzNet!

The 28th (Māori) Battalion, more commonly known as the Māori Battalion, was an infantry battalion of the New Zealand Army that served during the Second World War. It was formed following pressure on the Labour government by some Māori Members of Parliament (MPs) and Māori organisations throughout the country which wanted a full Māori unit to be raised for service overseas. The Māori Battalion followed in the footsteps of the Māori Pioneer Battalion that served during the First World War with success, and was wanted by Māori to raise their profile, and to serve alongside their Pākehā compatriots as subjects of the British Empire. It also gave a generation of people with a well-noted military ancestry a chance to test their own warrior skills.[1][2] Raised in 1940 as part of the Second New ...
My name is Finnian Galbraith and I am a year 11 student at Kāpiti College. I wrote this speech initially for a speech competition in 2014 because I see this as a big issue and I believe it is very important that we take action. Thanks for watching!

La renaissance de la culture maori est une invitation au voyage, une immersion dans la société maori contemporaine, autrefois menacée de disparition, mais qui a su s’adapter de manière originale au monde actuel. Attachée à ses valeurs ancestrales qu’elles transmet de génération en génération, elle insuffle l’espoir que le renouveau d’une culture ancestrale dans un monde occidental dominant est possible, et que ce renouveau peut être bénéfique pour les deux sociétés.

The astonishing truth about what really happened to the legendary lost Maori tribe would have remained forever a mystery if not for an incredible discovery. In 2028 a Chinese Mars rover found a time capsule on Mars which contained over two hundred electronic journals recorded on alien technology. These dairies explained what happened to the Maori tribe after they were abducted en masse from New Zealand in 1789 by time traveling alien slavers who took them back 65 million years to prehistoric Mars to slave unto death. MAORI ON MARS is an intended trilogy of films to be made in 3D animation. MAORI ON MARS: EARTH IN PERIL will be the first.
Leave all what's sane behind you.
Let all this darkness find you.
Pray there's someone to guide you
when you feel the fear inside you.
They are coming, don't try running,
coz' your feet won't obey you.
They are coming, don't try running,
coz' your feet won't obey you.
You think your safe in your bed,
but the threat comes from your own head.
Can not hide your own mind
Haunted by his own mind.
Could this be more unlike you.
Strange mind and lust inside you.
There is no one to save you
when you feel the fear inside you.
They are coming, don't try running,
coz' your feet won't obey you.
They are coming, don't try running,
coz' your feet won't obey you.
You're nearly choken and wet.
But the filth comes from your own head.
Can not hide your own mind
