New Zealand is a land of awesome beauty and truly remarkable contrasts. New Zealand’s awesome landscapes, lush forests, amazing wildlife and pleasant climate make it a haven for many outdoor activities, and a great place to unwind. Thousands of years ago, long before Columbus and Cortez, tribal people were expertly navigating the great oceans of the world in double-hulled canoes. They were deeply spiritual people whose voyages were undertaken on the wings of karakia, or prayers, and their maps were the stars and celestial bodies. Today they are called the Maori, and they live in New Zealand. Although they are integrated into the rest of the country, they have a distinctive cultural heritage that is so rich and complex that its origins are not even completely clear to the Maori themselves. © Maro Kouri |
