"The Maoris are a Polynesian people, who, according
to their
traditions, arrived in New Zealand from ‘Havaika’ (probably
Savaiki), in the 15th century. They are an industrious people,
brave in war (they kept the somewhat gory custom of eating
the hearts of the vanquished) and they developed a highly
organized society long before the arrival of European settlers.
Assured of the continued possession of their lands by the Treaty
of Waitangi (1840), the Maoris now number over 190,000,
mainly living in North Island.
The first mies. arrived in New Zealand in 1814, 172 years
after its discovery by Tasman, and after a decade of work to
establish their mission station, they began translation of the
Scriptures. In 1834 New Zealand’s first
printing press was im-
ported for the purpose of printing the Maori New
Testament.
Thomas Kendall devised a system of writing the Maori language,
which needs only 14 letters." --1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info only]
