Maori’s are a huge culture in New Zealand. Let’s say if you come to New Zealand for the rugby world cup and you played for America you would get a traditional welcoming like a Haka which is a Maori dance spoken in Maori. If you would like to see a Haka you could search up Maori Haka’s on YouTube or the All Blacks haka. Our Maori tradition is a big thing in New Zealand we dress up in heaps of different uniforms and everything. Just like America have their own native Americans we have Maori’s and Maori’s have heaps of different tribes so our culture is almost like yours but we have different uniforms languages and lets say different beliefs. This is how you count to ten in Maori:

Numbers in Maori. One Tahi Two Rua Three Toru Four Wha Five Rima Six Ono Seven Whitu Eight Waru Nine Iwa Ten Tekau.
