The Māori are the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand, renowned for their rich culture, warrior spirit, and deep connection to the land and sea. Arriving from eastern Polynesia around the 13th century, the Māori developed a vibrant society based on tribal kinship groups called iwi, with traditions rooted in mana (spiritual authority) and tapu (sacred law). They mastered navigation, agriculture, and carving, building fortified villages (pā) and developing intricate art, tattoos (moko), and oral histories that preserved their ancestry. When Europeans arrived in the 18th century, the Māori engaged in trade and diplomacy but also faced conflict and displacement during the colonial era. Despite these challenges, Māori culture endured and experienced a powerful revival in the modern age, shaping New Zealand’s national identity. In this episode, we explore the origins, traditions, and resilience of the Māori—a people whose strength and heritage continue to thrive across generations.
