	New Zealand - Maori - Crystalinks
		New Zealand is a country of rare seismic beauty: glacial mountains, fast-flowing rivers, deep, clear lakes, hissing geysers and boiling mud.
		New Zealand is in the South Pacific Ocean, 1600km south-east of Australia.
		Much of New Zealand's flora is endemic and its extent is enormous: giant gum-producing kauri and kohekohe forests; rainforest dominated by rimu, beech, tawa, matai and rata; ferns and flax; alpine and subalpine herb fields; and scrub and tussock.

	New Zealand - Maori - Creational Myths (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		The Moriori/ Maori are probably one of the least understood part of the history of New Zealand and its people.
		Maori had visited the islands many times in the past without any problems but this was not the case with these Maori.
		Problem being that Moriori culture and Maori culture differed greatly in this mindset so as was the custom of most Maori of that era, the land was taken and the customs for taking the land were followed with some Moriori being ritually slain and the rest enslaved.

	AdventureDivas: NEW ZEALAND: Maori Primer
		In recent decades, Maoris have come a long way toward reclaiming the land and status that was theirs when they first settled New Zealand, several centuries before the influx of Europeans.
		Then in 1835, in a move to fend off the French, Maori chiefs and representatives of the British crown signed a declaration of independence that gave the Maoris sovereign rights over their lands but asked the King of England to become the parent and protector of the new state.
		In 1987 Maori became an official language of New Zealand, and the language and traditions are increasingly becoming a part of public ceremonies throughout the country.

	Traditional Maori-music from New-Zealand
		Many new 'old forms' of songs and recitatives are composed and it even seems now, that new, so called traditional, instruments are invented and added to the list of already existing and rediscovered aerophones and idiophones.
		But in the case of the Maori we would prefer to be more nuanced, because we see next to the commercialisation a strong revival of the traditional Maori music too.
		The Maori themselves claime that their nowadays music is their authentic contemporary music and they don't want to be stuck to a historical classification, we westeners impose upon them.
