The Māori are the indigenous Polynesian
people of New Zealand. Māori originated with settlers from
eastern Polynesia, who arrived in New Zealand in several waves
of waka (canoe) voyages somewhere between 1320 and 1350. Over several
centuries in isolation, these settlers developed their own distinctive
culture whose language, mythology, crafts and performing arts evolved
independently from other eastern Polynesian cultures.
