MÄori People
The MÄori (, ) are the indigenous Polynesian people of mainland New Zealand (). MÄori originated with settlers from East Polynesia, who arrived in New Zealand in several waves of canoe voyages between roughly 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 those of other eastern Polynesian cultures. Some early MÄori moved to the Chatham Islands, where their descendants became New Zealand's other indigenous Polynesian ethnic group, the Moriori. Initial contact between MÄori and Europeans, starting in the 18th century, ranged from beneficial trade to lethal violence; MÄori actively adopted many technologies from the newcomers. With the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, the two cultures coexisted for a generation. Rising tensions over disputed land sales led to conflict in the 1860s, and massive land confiscations, to which ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mahuta TÄwhiao
Mahuta TÄwhiao I (c. 1855 – 9 November 1912) was the third MÄori King, reigning from 1894 to 1912, and member of the New Zealand Legislative Council from 1903 to 1910. Early life Born Whatiwhatihoe in the Waikato, probably in 1854 or 1855, Mahuta was the eldest son of King TÄwhiao and his first wife Hera. During his childhood in the 1860s New Zealand was embroiled in war and in his adolescence his family took refuge in the isolated King Country, so Mahuta received very little European education, spoke little English and was very much a traditionalist.

They had five sons: Te Rata (who succeeded him as king), Taipu, Tumate, Tonga and Te Rauangaanga.
