Maori

New Zealand's indigenous people are called the Maori.

Important things for Maori people are their iwi (tribe), their maunga (mountain) and awa (river). Many New Zealand children learn Maori at school.

The Maori are famous for their wooden carvings. Every piece tells a story – only some people can read these stories.

Kiwis

A kiwi is a flightless bird only found in New Zealand. It is an endangered species. Kiwis are shy and are usually nocturnal. The kiwi is the national symbol of New Zealand.
