'''Māori''' adalah nama [[penduduk asli]] [[Selandia Baru]], dan [[Bahasa Maori|bahasanya]].
Kata ''māori'' artinya adalah "normal" atau "biasa" dalam [[bahasa Māori]] dan merujuk pada makhluk-makhluk hidup yang berbeda dari Dewa-Dewi. Kata "Māori" memiliki banyak kerabat dalam [[bahasa Austronesia]] lainnya seperti [[bahasa Hawaii]]. Kata ''maoli'' dalam bahasa Hawaii artinya adalah asli, pribumi, benar atau nyata. Nama ini juga merupakan nama bangsa dan bahasa [[Kepulauan Cook]], yang disebut sebagai ''Māori Kepulauan Cook''. Kata ini juga memiliki kerabat dalam bahasa Jawa: ''(ma)urip'' yang berarti "hidup".
<!--==Māori origins==
New Zealand was one of the last areas of the planet to be reached by humans. Polynesian voyagers are believed to have migrated to what is now New Zealand from eastern [[Polynesia]] in the latter part of the [[1st millennium]]. Māori origins therefore cannot be separated from those of their Polynesian ancestors (''for more information see '' [[Polynesian culture]]). Archaeological and linguistic evidence (see Sutton 1994 cited in References section below) suggests there were probably several waves of migration from Eastern Polynesia to New Zealand between [[800]] and [[1300]]. Māori oral history describes their arrival from [[Hawaiki]] (a mythical homeland in tropical Polynesia) by large [[ocean]]–going [[canoe]]s (''waka''). During the 19th and early 20th centuries, the idea arose that Māori had voyaged to New Zealand in the so-called 'Great Fleet of 1350AD' which claims that seven canoes arrived simultaneously. More recent research has revealed that this concept originated with European researchers including Percy Smith who attempted to cobble together various unrelated Māori legends. The spurious fleet scenario was then accepted by some Māori including [[Te Rangi Hiroa]] (Sir Peter Buck), and won general acceptance until it was debunked in the 1960s by the research of David Simmons and others. In fact ''nowhere'' in the authentic voyaging traditions is there an account of several canoes all arriving together at one place and time. Migration accounts vary among Māori tribes or [[iwi]], whose members can identify with the different waka in their genealogies or [[whakapapa]].
There is no credible evidence of human settlement in New Zealand prior to the Māori voyagers; on the other hand, compelling evidence from archaeology, linguistics and physical anthropology indicates that the first settlers were East Polynesians who became the Māori.
 
Gaya hidup orang Māori banyak mengalami perubahan setelah orang Eropa datang ke Selandia Baru pada abad ke-17. Orang Māori kemudian perlahan-lahan mengadopsi berbagai aspek budaya dan kehidupan masyarakat Barat. Pada awalnya, hubungan antara orang Māori dan Eropa relatif baik. Sejak [[Perjanjian Waitangi]] di tahun 1840, kedua budaya tersebut hidup bersama. Pada tahun 1860, mulai terjadi perpecahan akibat konflik penjualan lahan, yang berujung pada penyitaan lahan dalam skala besar. Perpecahan sosial dan epidemi penyakit yang dibawa dari luar menyebabkan populasi suku Māori turun secara tajam. Jumlah penduduk suku Māori baru kembali meningkat pada awal abad ke-20. Sejak saat itu, mulai banyak upaya untuk mengembalikan keadilan sosial dan kedudukan suku Māori di masyarakat Selandia Baru secara umum.
==Culture==
[[Berkas:marae_in.jpg|thumb|130px|right|''Wharenui'', carved meeting house on a marae]]
The East Polynesian ancestors of the Māori were hunters, fishermen and gardeners. After arriving in New Zealand, Māori had to rapidly adapt their material culture and agricultural practices to suit the climate of their new land, cold and harsh in comparison to tropical island Polynesia. Great ingenuity was required to grow the tropical plants they had brought with them from Polynesia, including [[taro]], [[sweet potato|kumara]], gourds, and [[yam (vegetable)|yams]]; this was especially difficult in the chillier southern parts of the country. The [[New Zealand flax|''harakeke'']] (flax plant) served as a replacement for coconut fronds and hibiscus fibre in the manufacture of mats, baskets, rope, fishing nets and clothing. Seasonal activites included gardening, fishing and the hunting of birds. Main tasks were separated for men and women, but there were also a lot of group activities involving food gathering & food cultivation, and warfare. Art was and is a prominent part of the culture as seen in the carving of houses, canoes, weapons, and other items. The people also wore highly decorative personal ornaments, and people of rank were often extensively tattooed.
 
Dengan demikian, budaya tradisional Māori mengalami kebangkitan kembali yang besar, yang juga diperkuat dengan adanya [[gerakan protes Māori]] di tahun 1960-an. Sayangnya, suku Māori masih mengalami kesulitan ekonomi dan sosial yang besar. Secara umum, perkiraan umur dan pendapatan mereka pun lebih rendah daripada kelompok etnis lain yang hidup di Selandia Baru. Suku ini juga mengalami angka tingkat kejahatan, masalah kesehatan, serta ketertinggalan pendidikan yang lebih parah daripada kelompok etnis lain di Selandia Baru. Beberapa inisiatif sosio-ekonomis telah dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk "menutup jarak" antara orang Māori dan penduduk Selandia Baru lainnya. Ganti rugi politis dan ekonomis untuk berbagai kerugian historis juga masih terus berlanjut.
The marae is a communal ceremonial centre where meetings and ceremonies take place in accordance with traditional protocols. The marae symbolises group [[unity]] and generally consists of an open grassed area in front of a large carved meeting house, along with a dining hall and other facilities necessary to provide a comfortable stay for visiting groups. On the marae official functions take place including formal welcomes, celebrations, [[wedding]]s, christenings, [[tribal]] reunions, and ''tangihanga'' (funerals). The older people have the authority on the marae, and they impart to the young people traditions and cultural practices including [[legend]]s, songs or the arts of [[weaving]] or [[carving]].
Locals and visitors have to respect certain rules, especially during the rituals of encounter. This is when the phrase ''tāngata whenua'' (people of the land) comes into play. Should a group of people come to stay on a marae, they are considered ''manuhiri'' (guests) while the owners of the marae are known as tāngata whenua. Should other groups of manuhiri arrive, the manuhiri who arrived previously - regardless of their race - are considered tāngata whenua for the purposes of formally welcoming the new group. When Māori refer to themselves as tāngata whenua this is not done solely to emphasise their indigenous status, as is often assumed, because the connotation in Māori of the phrase is one not of separation but rather of welcome and inclusion.
 
Dalam [[Sensus Selandia Baru 2018]], terungkap bahwa terdapat 775.836 penduduk di Selandia Baru yang menyatakan dirinya orang Māori, yaitu berarti sekitar 16,5% dari populasi nasional. Kelompok ini merupakan kelompok etnis terbesar kedua di Selandia Baru, tepat di bawah penduduk Selandia Baru asal Eropa ("[[Pākehā]]"). Terdapat pula 140.000 orang Māori yang tinggal di Australia. [[Bahasa Māori]] digunakan oleh sekitar seperlima penduduk Māori atau 3% dari total penduduk. Orang Māori aktif dalam seluruh aspek kehidupan dan kebudayaan Selandia Baru, dengan representasi yang jelas di media, politik, dan olahraga.
Although marae have modern cooking facilities, the hāngi, a traditional way of cooking food in [[Polynesia]], is still used to provide meals for large groups because the food it produces is considered flavourful. The hāngi consists of a shallow hole dug in the ground. A fire is prepared in the hole and stones are placed on the top of it. When the stones are hot the hāngi is prepared for cooking by leaving the hot stones and some of the coals at the bottom of the hole. The food is placed on top of the stones, the meat first, with the vegetables, such as [[kumara]] and potatoes, on top of it. The hāngi is then covered with leaves or mats woven out of flax (or wet sacks) and left to cook. Finally, soil is heaped over the hāngi to keep the heat in.
 
==Etimologi==
The history of individual tribal groups is kept by means of narratives, songs and chants, hence the importance of music, story and poetry. Oratory, the making of speeches, is especially important in the rituals of encounter, and it is regarded as important for a speaker to include allusions to traditional narrative and to a complex system of proverbial sayings, called whakataukī.
Dalam [[bahasa Māori]], kata {{lang|mi|māori}} berarti "normal", "alami", atau "biasa". Dalam legenda dan tradisi lisan, kata ini membedakan antara manusia biasa ({{lang|mi|tāngata māori}}) dengan [[Agama Māori|dewa-dewi]] dan roh.<ref>Atkinson, A. S.

==Penamaan dan penamaan diri==
==Religion and tapu==
Pada mulanya, para pendatang dari Eropa ke Selandia Baru menamakan penduduk asli pulau ini sebagai "orang Selandia Baru" ({{lang|en|"New Zealanders"}}) atau "pribumi".<ref>{{cite web|title=Native Land Act {{!}} New Zealand [1862]|url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Native-Land-Act|website=Encyclopedia Britannica|access-date=8 July 2017|language=en}}</ref> Orang Māori sendiri menggunakan istilah ''māori'' untuk menyebut penduduk mereka sendiri dari dalam maupun luar suku.{{Ref label|Note|ii|ii}} Orang Māori cenderung menggunakan istilah {{lang|mi|[[tangata whenua]]}} (yang secara harafiah berarti "penduduk suatu daerah") untuk menyebutkan hubungan mereka dengan daerah tertentu. Orang Māori dari daerah A akan menyebut diri mereka ''tangata whenua'' daerah itu, tetapi tidak dari daerah lain.<ref>{{cite web|title=tangata whenua|url=http://maoridictionary.co.nz/search?keywords=tangata+whenua|publisher=Māori Dictionary|access-date=8 July 2017|language=en}}</ref> Istilah ini juga dapat dipahami dalam konteks suku Māori secara keseluruhan dalam hubungannya dengan Selandia Baru ({{lang|mi|[[Aotearoa]]}}) secara umum.
Māori [[religion]] is closely related to nature and to the ancestors, and all things are conceived of as possessing a life force or ''mauri'', since all living things are connected by a common descent through whakapapa or genealogy.
Certain people and objects contain ''[[mana]]'' - spiritual power or essence.
In accordance with the Polynesian tradition, Tangaroa is god of the ocean and the origin of all fish. Tane is the god of the forest and the origin of all birds, and Rongo is the god of peaceful activities and agriculture. According to some, the supreme [[god]] of the Māori is [[Io]]; however this idea is controversial. ''Tapu'' can be interpreted as "[[sacred]]", as "[[spiritual]] restriction" or "implied prohibition"; it involves [[rules]] and [[prohibitions]]. There are two kinds of tapu, the private (relating to individuals) and the public tapu (relating to communities). A person, an object or a place, which is tapu, may not be touched by human contact, in some cases, not even approached. A person, object or a place could be made sacred by tapu for a certain time.
In earlier times, [[tribal]] members of a higher rank would not touch objects which belonged to members of a lower rank. This was considered "pollution" and persons of a lower rank could not touch the belongings of a highborn person. Death was the penalty.
A violation of tapu could have dire consequences, including the death of the offender through sickness or at the hands of someone affected by the offence. In earlier times food cooked for a person of high rank was tapu, and could not be eaten by an inferior. A chief's house was tapu, and even the chief could not eat food in the interior of his house. Not only were the houses of people of high rank perceived to be tapu, but also their possessions including their clothing. Burial grounds and places of death were always tapu, and these areas were often surrounded by a protective fence.
In pre-contact society, tapu was one of the strongest forces in Māori life; however in the early 1800s, Māori enthusiastically embraced Christianity and its concepts and adapted them to their culture.
Today, tapu is still observed in matters relating to sickness, death, and burial.
 
Dari sudut pandang pemerintah, tidak selalu jelas siapa yang dianggap orang Māori. Pada tahun 1974, demi kepentingan pemilihan umum, pemerintah mewajibkan dokumen yang membuktikan keturunan bagi yang mengaku "orang Māori". Hanya orang-orang yang memiliki 50% keturunan Māori dapat ikut pemilu. Amandemen Undang-undang Urusan Maori tahun 1974 mengubah hukum ini dan memperbolehkan siapa pun untuk mengidentifikasi dirinya sesuai dengan yang orang itu inginkan, khusus untuk masalah identitas budaya. Hingga tahun 1986, badan sensus Selandia Baru mewajibkan setidaknya 50% 'turunan' Māori agar dapat mengklaim hubungan dengan suku Māori. Saat ini, di dalam semua konteks, pemerintah secara umum akan meminta dokumen pembuktian nenek moyang atau bukti keterlibatan kultural (seperti misalnya penerimaan dari orang lain bahwa orang tersebut memang ada di dalam suku), tetapi tanpa batas persentase turunan.<ref>McIntosh (2005), p. 45</ref>{{Ref label|Note|iii|iii}}
==Dance and personal adornment==
===Haka===
[[Berkas:Haka_Maori.jpg|thumb|130px|right|''Haka'' performer]]
The [[haka]] is just one of many kinds of group [[dance]] or performance. A number of different types of haka are performed depending on the occasion. There are haka of song and joy, and warlike haka.
There are various types of war haka - one performed without weapons, usually to express public or private feelings, is known as the "haka [[taparahi]]"; another, the [[peruperu]], is performed with weapons. In former times, the peruperu was performed before a [[battle]]. Its purpose was to invoke the god of war and to warn enemies of the fate awaiting them. It involved fierce facial expressions and grimaces, poking out of the tongue, eye bulging, grunts and cries, and the waving of weapons. If the haka was not performed in total unison, this was regarded as an bad omen for the battle. Often, warriors went naked into battle, apart from a plaited flax belt around the waist. The aim of the warriors was to kill all the members of the [[enemy]] war party, so that no survivors would remain to undertake revenge.
In today's environment however, haka are often performed as a mark of respect for distinguished visitors, or to express a sense of the importance of an occasion. The New Zealand national rugby team, the [[All Blacks]], perform a haka before international matches not only as a reflection of the importance of the game that is about to be played but also to motivate themselves and their supporters to greater efforts; indirectly then, as in days of old on the Māori battlefield, they are paying a compliment to the perceived skills of their opponents.
 
===Pendants===
[[Berkas:Tiki.jpg|thumb|130px|right|''Hei-tiki'' neck pendant]]The hei-tiki, a small ornamental pendant usually made of pounamu and worn around the neck, is often incorrectly referred to as a ''tiki'', a term that actually refers to large human figures carved in wood, and, also, the small wooden carvings used to mark sacred places. One theory of the origin of the hei-tiki suggests a connection with Tiki, the god who created human life, in which case the hei-tiki is a symbol of fertility. Another less romantic theory holds that it served merely for personal adornment. The most valuable hei-tiki are carved from greenstone or pounamu. New Zealand greenstone consists of either nephrite (a type of jade, in Māori: pounamu) or bowenite (Māori: tangiwai). Pounamu is esteemed highly by Māori for its beauty, toughness and great hardness; it is used not only for ornaments such as hei-tiki and ear pendants, but also for carving tools, adzes, and weapons. Named varieties include translucent green ''kahurangi'', whitish ''inanga'', semi-transparent ''kawakawa'', and ''tangiwai'' or bowenite.
From the size and style of traditional examples of hei-tiki it is likely that the stone was first cut in the form of a small adze. The tilted head of the ''pitau'' variety of hei-tiki derives from the properties of the stone - its hardness and great value make it important to minimise the amount of the stone that has to be removed. Creating a hei-tiki with traditional methods is a long, arduous process during which the stone is smoothed by abrasive rubbing; finally, using sticks and water, it is slowly shaped and the holes bored out. After laborious and lengthy polishing, the completed pendant is suspended by a plaited cord and secured by a loop and toggle.
 
Other ''taonga'' (treasured possessions) used as items of personal adornment include bone carvings in the form of neck ornaments, earrings or necklaces. For many Māori the wearing of such items relates to cultural identity; however, they are also popular with young New Zealanders of all races. Several artistic [[collectives]] have been established by Māori tribal groups. These collectives have begun creating and exporting [[jewellery]] (such as bone carved ''[[hei matau]]'' pendants and [[greenstone]] jewellery) and other artistic items (such as [[wood]] carvings and [[textiles]]). Several [[actor]]s who have recently appeared in high-profile movies filmed in New Zealand have come back wearing such jewellery, including [[Viggo Mortensen]] of [[The Lord of the Rings]] fame, took to wearing a ''hei matau'' around his neck. These trends have contributed towards a worldwide interest in traditional Māori culture and arts.
 
===Tā moko===
[[Berkas:maoriMoko.jpg|thumb|130px|right|''Kapa haka'' group members]]
As a cultural practice [[tattoo]]ing (''tā moko'') was brought by the Māori from their Eastern Polynesian homeland, and the implements and methods employed were similar to those used in other parts of Polynesia (see Buck 1974:296, cited in References below). It is thought that in traditional society many or most high-ranking persons were tattooed, and those who went without tattoos were seen as persons of lower [[social status]]; although Simmons (1997), cited below, contains references throughout to servants who were tattooed with patterns that signalled that they were the slave of a high ranking chief. The receiving of tattoos constituted an important milestone on a person's journey to maturity and was accompanied by many [[rites]] and [[rituals]]. According to Simmons, in both men and women, the patterns used were highly significant of a person's rank, skills, knowledge, personal life history, tribal affilations and genealogy; in contrast Buck (1974:298) thought that because tā moko experts travelled widely to carry out their art the designs would have related more to the tribal affiliations of the tattooist rather than those of the tattooed. Apart from signalling status and rank, another reason for the practice in traditional times was to make a person more attractive to the opposite sex.
The instrument used to tattoo in former times (up to 1925) was a bone chisel with an extremely sharp edge. The first stage of the tattoo started with the carving of deep grooves into the skin (see Simmons 1997:19). Next, the chisel was dipped into a sooty pigment such as burnt [[kauri]] gum which was then smeared into the skin. It was an extremely long and painful process, and often leaves from the [[karaka]] tree were placed over the swollen incisions to hasten the healing process. Women were not as extensively tattooed: with some exceptions, only their lips and chin were decorated. Simmons also mentions that the use of the painful traditional tattooing implements began to be abandoned in favour of grouped metal needles starting from about 1910 (ibid). In recent years, there has been a resurgence in the practice of tattooing for both men and women, as a sign of cultural identity and a reflection of the general revival of the language and culture; members of ''kapa haka'' (concert parties) often apply temporary markings to their faces to give an approximation of a tattooed appearance.
 
==Interactions with Europeans== European colonisation of New Zealand occurred relatively recently, causing the late New Zealand historian [[Michael King]] to state in his book, ''The Penguin History Of New Zealand'', that Māori were "the last major human community on earth untouched and unaffected by the wider world."
 
The early European explorers, including [[Abel Tasman]] and [[James Cook]], reported encounters with Māori.
 
These early reports described the Māori as a fierce and proud warrior race. Inter-tribal warfare was a way of life, with the conquered being enslaved or in some cases eaten. From as early as the [[1780s]] Māori had encounters with European [[sealing|sealers]] and [[whaling|whalers]]; some even crewed on their ships. There was also a continuous trickle of escaped convicts from Australia and deserters from visiting ships. By [[1830]] it was estimated that there were as many as 2,000 [[Pakeha]] living among the Māori, status varying from slaves through to high ranking advisors, from prisoners to those who abandoned European culture and identified themselves as Māori. Pakeha were valued for their ability to describe European skills and culture and their ability to obtain European items in trade, particularly weaponry. These Europeans were known as [[Pakeha Māori]]. When [[Pomare]] led a war party against Titore in [[1838]], among his warriors were 132 Pakeha mercenaries. [[Frederick Edward Maning]], an early settler, wrote two colourful contemporaneous accounts of life at that time which have become classics of New Zealand literature: ''Old New Zealand'' and ''History of the War in the North of New Zealand against the Chief Heke.'' [[Governor]] [[George Edward Grey|George Grey]] learned the language and recorded much of the mythology.
 
During this period the acquisition of muskets by those tribes in close contact with European visitors destabilised the existing balance of power between Māori tribes, and there was a period of bloody inter-tribal warfare, known as the [[Musket Wars]], during which several tribes were effectively exterminated and others were driven from their traditional territory. European [[disease]]s also killed a large but unknown number of Māori during this period. Estimates vary between ten and fifty percent.
 
With increasing European [[missionary]] activity and settlement in the 1830s as well as perceived European lawlessness, the [[The Crown|British Crown]], as a predominant world power, came under pressure to intervene. Ultimately this led to [[William Hobson]] being dispatched with instructions to take possession of New Zealand. Before he arrived, [[Victoria of the United Kingdom|Queen Victoria]] annexed new Zealand by royal proclamation in January [[1840]]. On arrival in February, Hobson negotiated the [[Treaty of Waitangi]] with the surrounding northern chiefs. This treaty was subsequently signed by many other Māori chiefs, though by no means all. The treaty made the Māori [[British nationality law|British subjects]] in return for a guarantee of property rights and tribal autonomy.
 
In the [[1860s]], disputes over questionable land purchases and the attempts of Māori in the [[Waikato]] to establish a rival British-style system of royalty led to the [[New Zealand land wars|New Zealand wars]]. Although these resulted in relatively few deaths, large tracts of tribal land were confiscated by the colonial government. Settlements such as [[Parihaka]] in [[Taranaki]] are remembered as sites of violent conflict that took place there during that period.
 
==Revival==
With the loss of much of their land, Māori went into a period of decline, and by the late 19th century it was believed that the Māori population would cease to exist as a separate race and be assimilated into the European population. The predicted decline did not occur, and population levels recovered. Despite a high degree of intermingling between the Māori and European populations, Māori were able to retain their cultural identity and in the [[1960s]] and [[1970s]], Māoridom underwent a cultural revival. No Māori live a traditional pre-European contact lifestyle today. Some commentators express frustration with the "theme-parkisation" of Māori identity with tourist-driven performances and gift shop "art". Others seek to develop a New Zealand identity that incorporates strands of Māori identity.
 
Sympathetic governments and political activism have led to compensation for certain historic instances of unjust confiscation of land and the violation of other [[property]] rights. A special [[court]], the [[Waitangi Tribunal]], was established to investigate and make recommendations on such issues. As a result of the compensation paid, Māori now have significant interests in the [[fish]]ing and forestry industries.
 
In many areas of New Zealand, Māori language ceased to be used as a living community language (by significant numbers of people) in the post-[[World War II|war]] years. Generous state funding is assisting with the revival attempt. [[Maori culture|Māori culture]] and language is taught in most New Zealand schools, and pre-school [[kohanga reo]] or language nests, teach [[tamariki]] or young children exclusively in Māori. [[Maori Television|Māori Television]], a government-funded TV station committed to broadcasting primarily in [[Maori language|te reo]], began broadcasting on [[March 28]], [[2004]]. Māori language has the equivalent status to [[English language|English]] in [[government]] and [[law]]. Māori politicians have seven designated [[Maori seats|Māori seats]] in the New Zealand [[parliament]] (and may stand in the General seats), and consideration and consultation with Māori are routine requirements for many New Zealand councils and government organisations.
 
Despite significant social and economic advances during the 20th century, Māori still perform negatively in most health and education statistics, labour participation as well as being over-represented in criminal and [[Department of Corrections (New Zealand) | corrections]] statistics.
 
In [[2001]] a dispute arose between [[Denmark|Danish]] toymaker [[LEGO]] and several Māori tribal groups fronted by lawyer Maui Solomon, and also several members of an online discussion forum [[Aotearoa Cafe]], over the popular [[LEGO]] toy line [[Bionicle]]. The product line used many words that were an appropriation of Māori language, imagery and folklore. The dispute was settled amicably. Initially LEGO refused to withdraw the game, saying the names it used were drawn from many cultures, but later agreed that it had taken the names from Māori and agreed to change certain names or spellings to help set the toy line apart from the Māori legends. This, however, did not prevent the many Bionicle users from continuing to use the disputed words, resulting in the popular Bionicle website [[BZPower]] coming under a [[denial-of-service attack]] for four days by an attacker using the name Kotiate [http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,56451,00.html?tw=wn_story_related].-->
