Extractions: The Maori people are the indigenous people of Aotearoa (New Zealand) and first arrived here in waka hourua (voyaging canoes) from their ancestral homeland of Hawaiki over 1000 years ago. Today, Maori make up over 14 percent of the population. Their language and culture has a major impact on all facets of New Zealand life. Rich and Varied Maori culture is a rich and varied one, and includes traditional and contemporary arts. Traditional arts such as carving, weaving, kapa haka (group performance), whaikorero (oratory) and moko (tattoo) are practised throughout the country. Practitioners following in the footsteps of their tipuna (ancestors) replicate the techniques used hundreds of years ago, yet also develop exciting new techniques and forms. Today Maori culture also includes art, film, television, poetry, theatre, and hip-hop. The visitor to New Zealand will become immediately aware of the Maori language as the vast majority of place names are of Maori origin. At first, visitors may be puzzled by the seemingly impossible- to-pronounce names. In fact, Maori has a logical structure, and, unlike English, has very consistent rules of pronunciation. How Do You Say Onehunga, Whangamomona, Kahikatea, and Nguru?

Extractions: February NZ Herald : New Zealand Culture Diversifies. New Zealands culture is much more diverse now than 10 years ago, and a strong eastern influx is partly responsible. One in 15 people are of Asian ethnicity more than double the 1991 figure, according to last years census. And, although nearly one in six of our 3.7 million- plus population is multilingual, one in 50 people do not speak English. When the language question was first asked in the 1996 census, the response was similar, indicating a new wave of non-English speakers. Not counting children under- five years of age, the majority of immigrants who have not master New Zealands pre-dominant tongue speak Samoan, Cantonese and Korean. By far the fastest growing ethnic group is from Korea up from only 930 a decade ago to 19,026. More than 2 million people said they were Christian, but there was a big increase in other religions. Islam disciples leaped 74 percent in five years to 23,631, Hindu 56 percent to 39,798, Buddhist 48 percent to 41,634 and Spiritualism 64 percent to 16,062. The number of people aged 85 or older increased 26 percent in the past five years.

The culture of New Zealand incorporates both Maori culture and that of the descendants of the early British colonists, many of whom were of working class origin. While English culture predominates, it has been significantly influenced by the Scots and the Maori. 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 of unique heritage in a sea of British colonial culture. After the Second World War , significant immigration from the Pacific Islands began, so much so that there are now more nationals from some Pacific island nations living in New Zealand than on their home islands. The wide variety of Pacific Island cultures have combined in New Zealand, mostly in

The Otago Print Culture project aims to establish the extent to which print has shaped the region's identity, and then to explore how Otago's history compares with that of other regions in New Zealand, Australia and Canada. print culture Print culture is a collective term developed to encompass the many ways in which printed artifacts are shaped by, and shape, our culture. Scholars of print culture interpret both terms broadly, to encompass both the most ephemeral advertisement stuck under your wiper blade and the most impressively printed text of high culture. Consideration is given to all aspects of the transition from author to audience, including production, distribution and consumption. A suggestive range of print culture studies:

Extractions: Home About Us Speeches and Press Releases History Group ... Heritage Operations / New Zealand Flag History Description Choosing a Flag and Flag Care Flying the Flag ... Bibliography The New Zealand Flag is the symbol of the realm government and people of New Zealand. Its royal blue background is reminiscent of the blue sea and clear sky surrounding us. The stars of the Southern Cross emphasise this country's location in the South Pacific Ocean. The Union Flag gives recognition to our historical foundations and the fact that New Zealand was once a British colony and dominion. The New Zealand Flag may be flown on any day of the year. It is particularly appropriate to fly it on days of national commemoration, such as Anzac Day, and on other important occasions. As New Zealand's national symbol the New Zealand Flag should be treated in a manner worthy of its high status. The Flags, Emblems, and Names Protection Act 1981, administered by the Ministry for Culture and Heritage, defines and protects the Flag. Contained in the Act is the power to prosecute those who misuse it. Surprisingly, many people are not aware of the special significance attached to the New Zealand Flag. Within certain guidelines, the New Zealand Flag may be used in a number of ways. Similarly, the correct way to display the New Zealand Flag varies from one situation to another. The aim of this website is to simplify flag flying, which otherwise may seem too complicated and not worth the trouble. It contains a
