misis.ruNew Zealand before British colonization
• New Zealand was initially inhabited by the
indigenous Māori people, who arrived in the islands
around 1250-1300 AD from Polynesia. They
established a unique culture, with distinct language,
traditions, and social structures. The Māori relied on
hunting, fishing, and agriculture, primarily cultivating
kumara (sweet potatoes) and other native plants.

misis.ruBritish colonization
• British settlement began in the early 19th
century, and the signing of the Treaty of
Waitangi in 1840 marked a key moment in
New Zealand's history. The treaty between the
British Crown and Māori chiefs aimed to
establish British sovereignty while
guaranteeing Māori land rights and cultural
protections. However, the treaty's
interpretation and implementation led to
disputes and conflicts between Māori and the
British.

misis.ruThe impact of the “Moana” cartoon
• The Māori language was gradually supplanted; in
the mid-20th century, almost the entire population
spoke only English.
• The New Zealand director Taika Waititi and his
sister translated the cartoon into Māori, after which it
was shown for free in 30 cinemas across the country.
• The Disney cartoon aroused the interest of young
people in their native language, and also attracted
the world's attention to the culture of this country.
