A view of Maori culture

A view of Maori culture -

Maori culture has always fascinated me, since I saw the film Whale Rider. Her story, cool tattoos, dancing, beliefs and general relaxed personality make them very interesting for me. Since the natives of New Zealand, they have not done well since the arrival of European settlers. Then again, fared no native population, even after the arrival of Europeans. However, the Maoris are a warrior race and was defeated famous for never of the English settlers. It is a fact, the proud Maori appreciate very much and are always happy to share.

I determined to learn more about them while here in New Zealand road. The city of Rotorua is one of the best places to learn. There are a variety of cultural shows and educational trips in the area. A Maori in the Bay of Islands even told me that if I would learn about Maoris, this field would be to do the easiest for me it in. The cultural tours are all very similar (some are smaller, have something better food some are of different lengths), but you learn and see a lot of the same things. I went to the Tamaki Maori Village tour because my travel companions were also to do at the time there.

The show provides a basic look at the life of the Maori, which is probably what most tourists want, but do not offer the deeply, I wanted to. During the cultural show was interesting, the food is great, and the music entertaining, I plan a non-touristy Maori experience looking for before I left New Zealand a much deeper understanding of the culture to obtain.
