New Zealand is the country known for its traditional Maori culture. The Maori are the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand, and their rich culture is reflected in various aspects of life, including language, arts, music, and rituals. The Maori culture is characterized by unique practices such as haka, a traditional war dance, and the intricate carvings and designs seen in their tattoos (ta moko) and wooden artworks. The Maori language (te reo Māori) is one of New Zealand's official languages. Efforts to preserve and promote Maori culture have increased, leading to a resurgence of pride in identity and heritage within the community.
