Māori
The Polynesian indigenous people who settled in New Zealand, who maintain their own language, te reo Māori, and traditions such as the haka.
New Zealand's Māori did not come from Australia but descend from people who left Taiwan. By canoe through the Philippines and Papua, they reached New Zealand around 1200–1300 CE. Before their arrival, the islands had no humans—and no mammals at all.
