Culture of New Zealand The culture of New Zealand is a fusion of Maori culture and that of the descendants of the early British colonists and later settlers, many of whom were of working class origin.

Scottish influences are strong, mainly in the South Island . In general, early immigrants from other parts of Europe and Asia , and World War II refugees (particularly the Dutch ) were readily assimilated. Small enclaves of these early immigrant cultures remain as islands in a sea of British colonial culture. Unlike Australia , New Zealand has not experienced sizeable immigration from Mediterranean countries in Southern Europe , but in recent years there has been a considerable influx of migrants from Asia , which now makes up a significant proportion of the population, particularly in Auckland.

The country is famous for its natural beauty and scenic attractions, from snow-capped mountains, glaciers and fiords to thermal geysers, volcanoes, sub-tropical rainforests and magnificent sandy beaches. History The first Polynesians arrived in New Zealand in a series of migrations over several generations, from about AD 1000. Maori tradition has it that the great Maori explorer, Kupe, first discovered New Zealand, and his wife Hine-te-aparangi named it Aotearoa (the Land of the Long White Cloud). Early European explorers included Dutch navigator Abel Tasman in 1642, who named it Nieuw Zeeland after the Netherlands' Zeeland province. Captain James Cook arrived in 1769, becoming the first European to set foot on New Zealand soil. The country's founding bi-cultural document, the Treaty of Waitangi, was signed in 1840 between some Maori chiefs and representatives of the British Government. A series of 'land wars' followed as Maori battled to hold onto their ancestral lands. Today, tribal land claims are settled by the Waitangi Tribunal, and Maori culture is becoming a growing influence.
