    The Māori are the indigenous people of Aotearoa or what is today New Zealand. Famous for their haka, poi, and face tattoos. They're descended from Polynesians, the greatest voyagers the world has ever known. They hunted gigantic like mega-birds, terrified European colonists, and built a rich culture while isolated from the rest of the world.
    But who are the Māori, what is their history, and what exactly is a Trojan Whale? Well, Let's Find Out!
    I'd like to thank the Associated Press for providing me with footage for this video www.aparchive.com/

      We should all have knowledge and be proud of our heritage! We need to know where we came from. To feel grounded in your ancestry is essential! I'm from UK and am interested and proud of some of our achievements BUT not ALL of it! We have left some very bad things in our wake. I do have to give credit where it's due. I'm sorry though, the parts of our PAST empire behaved as though we were entitled, which was unbelievable! Thank goodness this had passed realising it was so wrong! Unbelievable! I will add I had very close family friends that emigrated to New Zealand years ago and the son (my age) married a Maori young lady.and had two children. I'm happy your language is not lost and is resurrected. Have happy days and good health 👌❤️🤗🌈

      @Cian I am grateful to have this m sage from you. I realise regarding achievement, all nations “achieve” either simultaneously, earlier or later! I hope on the journey we can help and learn from one another. One of the things I don’t like about Empire building (of course many others other than UK did this) is the feeling of entitlement and superiority SOME people had. I hope most in my heart they were voyages of discovery, which I think is a natural desire for some and that is wonderful! Perhaps many have been responsible for repression of their own TO their own AND others through the centuries! However, there is good amongst it. Many of our sea-farers were press-ganged into the mariners life and record shows they as well as others, were treated with disdain and whipped for the slightest demeanour. Plus in our country the “workers” were 99% treated worse than a beast of burden, including children: building the wealth for the factory owner. We had FEW factory owners who treated worker with respect and housed them even. That was the philanthropic company of Joseph Cadbury of the Quakers. I could go on. Thank you! 🙏👌🤗

      quite literally what happened - it’s no debate with most new zealand historians that the treaty was deliberately mistranslated in order to win māori over, the debate lies in WHY it was mistranslated, some say that james busby (the crown representative in new zealand before the treaty) was looking to get an official place in the country so he wouldn’t have to be moved to an office in india

      Current day Maori are the direct descendants of their polynesian tupuna.... who were the first people to set foot in and settle Aotearoa.
      They didn't brutally colonize any pre-existing peoples to take their land off them, as Pakeha did in earning the title of colonizers.
      You might want to argue what to call those first folk who set foot in Aotearoa, but pretending their descendents aren't the original native people of Aotearoa is pretty stupid (to say the least).

      Moreover, Slavery, Colonialism and Colonization are evil things done, and benefited by evildoers.History repeats itself. Remember, bloody Civil War finished up Slavery. Devastating World War II finished up centuries-old Anglo Western Colonialism worldwide. Likewise, would World War III, however bloody and devastating it may be, finish up global Colonization which has been lingering on from North America to South America, from Siberia & Far-East Asia to Australia & New Zealand?
      In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return them to rightful owners.
      Remember, notorious global cardinal crimes that Anglo West had committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery and Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask?

      Hi a Maori here. I think we're treated the way we are because of the way we engage the Pakeha world view like politics and such they couldn't genocide US during colonisation so they used treaties and legislation to form a new nation and within that nation we kept fighting we built our own schools starting from kohanga/pr school right up to university /te wananga I aotearoa/ awanuiarangi.

      Māori culture has been spread for years ! When I was at junior school in England in the early 80s we did a whole project on NZ/Māori culture - we learnt a Māori song, dance, made our own headdresses with Māori patterns etc- I still have them today and still know the words off by heart. There was NO disrespect or ignorance even 40 years ago- the victimhood complex is new

    Mad respect for the people of Aotearoa. Such a beautiful culture and people. It’s their grit and bravery that has helped them endure.
    Going to school in the US, we learned about how the indigenous tribes were treated. Watching this video reminded me of that. I’m just really grateful that the Māori and Hawaiians have held on to and revived their cultures. Knowing your language and culture gives you a sense of identity, you draw closer to your ancestors, and your communities become stronger.

    Good viddy! I learnt a bit about Aotearoa from a 2 week(!) visit/tour/conference 25 yrs ago after some basic anthro stuff from college and working in a museum. Your viddy added a LOT to my understanding. Well, we visited a Pa on that trip, and they had a craft center, (basketry, wood carving, etc.) and the Maori guy in charge saw the NW Coast style print on a buddy's T-shirt and told him what tribe the design was from. (my buddy didn't know) That teacher was trans-Pacific savvy! Education matters, even if equality is still a ways off. The future culture of NZ will owe a lot to the Maori.

    This whole video just makes me happy, you very clearly did your research - i do have a sidenote thought; it's actually pretty interesting, we Maori would speak Te Reo yes, but each tribe also had their own dislects, as most countries of today do.
    For example, some tribes dont pronounce their H and others say Kai instead of ngai

    I have to say this was well researched video and the only slight criticism would be the pronunciation of some Māori words but on the whole was pretty accurate. Should have mentioned Pukehinahina/Gate pa an astounding Māori victory with one of the most impressive pa built. There were many other awesome pa though just had to get a shout out for my Iwi Ngāi Te Rangi.
