  1. Māori history

    Field of research

    The history of the Māori began with the arrival of Polynesian settlers in New Zealand, in a series of ocean migrations in canoes starting from the late 13th or early 14th centuries. Over time, in isolation the Polynesian settlers developed a distinct Māori culture. Early Māori history is often divided into two periods: the Archaic period and the Classic period. Archaeological sites such as Wairau Bar show evidence of early life in Polynesian settlements in New Zealand. Many of the crops that the settlers brought from Polynesia did not grow well in the colder New Zealand climates. However, many native bird and marine species were hunted or collected for food, with birds, sometimes to extinction. An increasing population, competition for resources and changes to the new local climate led to the social and cultural changes seen in the Classic period. A more elaborate art form developed and a new warrior culture emerged with fortified villages, known as Pā. Wikipedia
