Maori are New Zealand’s indigenous people – the tangata whenua of the land. An integral part of New Zealand life, Maori culture and language are part of what makes New Zealand unique and exceptional. The settlement history of New Zealand has created a unique culture blending Maori, European, Polynesian and Asian peoples and traditions. A nation of people of diverse backgrounds, New Zealanders are known for their creativity, warmth, integrity, humility and respect. Whether your interest lies in the traditions and history of the land, or today’s modern culture of innovation and diversity, we invite you to experience a culture unlike anywhere else on earth.
“There’s a kind of a core tranquility about New Zealand, a kind of assuredness that this is fairly close to approaching the perfect way to be.”Bernard Hill
