Māori people call New Zealand ‘Aotearoa’.
The Māori culture includes a unique language and traditional arts, of which ‘moko’ (tattooing) characterises Māori people.
Māori culture, like indigenous Australian culture, is an ‘oral’ tradition in which stories of the ‘Sky Father’ and the ‘Earth Mother’ are taught to children.
Aotearoa was created by the god ‘Maui’.
