MAORI CULTURE
This is the maori cultural dance called 'HAKA' it is suposed to represent a dance that the maoris used to dance before they fought angainst another tribe. But in this case they are about to play rugby. That is simalar to fighting.
Maori culture is an amazing culture. They have many diffrent ways to any other culture in the world. There are not many people who speak the language of Maori. The only country that speaks it's language is New Zealand. It has many interesting things like Ta Moko wich is type of tattoo that only Maori people get. It has the 'HAKA' wich is a type of war dance thats why the kiwi rugby team always does the haka before they play against another rugby team. And it has a lot of things that are very simalar or related to maori culture. Maori culture has a diffrent language. It is quite diffrent to any other language. We are learning it at southwell school. Orginally the Maoris used to live on New Zealand Land,another way to put it is that they here here first but that is a whole other story.
This is a Maori Ta moko It was brought by the Maoris from there eastern polynsian homeland. In pre-European Maori culture. Many if not high-ranking recieved moko.

Poland is a very diffrent place to New Z.ealand. It's diffrent in wheater, population, and how big it is.
