Maori culture is a distinctive part of New Zealand culture. With the growth of tourism and exposure of haka to international audiences on TV and at sporting competitions, Maori culture that was previously observed only in Maori society and social gatherings with a significant Maori aspect, is increasingly seen as fundamental to New Zealand culture as a whole.
