What a fearsome people the original Maori's were. This is quite a young country established after a "war" that I believe occured after a treaty was sign
ed with the British in the mid 1830s. This war lasted 30 years or so and then the country was founded, much the way we founded our country on American Indians, oops, I should say native Indian lands. That famous treaty is still celebrated today and they are actually trying to honor it. Anyway, back to the fierce Maori's. They had these hugely long "canoes" that transported their royalty. These are built by the gigantic Kuari trees (spelling?) and were pretty
clever. This shows how the kept their feet dry!
