By:Larry GarciaSource:Mr.Ruben Meza,2012

The Maori are an indigenous culture of New Zealand. 

New Zealand is a large  island in the South Pacific Ocean off the southeast coast of Australia 

Some contemporary Maori are traditional,some are non-traditional,modern lives 

One tradition of the Maori culture 

Another tradition of the Maori is Ta moko:tattooing or painting the face and body

with dark arching patterns.

Traditional Maori culture is truly.

Sadly,like other conquered indigenous peoples,many Maori struggle with

poverty,alcoholism and drug abuse.
