New Zealand is an English-speaking country. But the government recognizes another language, too. This is the Maori language. English sailors began to visit New Zealand after 1770. They found a dark-skinned people living there. These were the Maori. They had come from islands in the Pacific Ocean 400 years before －in the 14th century.
For a long time the British government was not very interested in there far away islands. It was made a British colony(殖民地) in 1840. In this year the first British people came to settle in the new country. More and more settlers came from Britain later.
The Maoris were friendly to the first settlers. But soon the new settlers wanted the Maoris 'land. So in 1844 there was fighting between them. This was the first of several wars between the two people. The next 50 years were very bad for Maoris. Many were killed in the wars. Many more died from the new diseases brought by the British. In 1840 there were perhaps 200 000 Maoris. By 1896 this number had fallen to 42 000.
By this century the two people have lived in peace. For many years the “British” New Zealanders looked down on the Maoris. But in recent years they have had equal rights, and the Maori language is one of the languages of the country with English. Today there are about a quarter of a million Maoris, that is, about 9% of the population. Most of them live on North Island. They have a rich culture and a great love of singing and dancing.
