This blog provides a visual-verbal snapshot of Maori culture and contemporary Maori lifestyles in modern New Zealand. It presents my own experiences and observations of Maori culture and is not intended in anyway to be the definitive view on all things Maori, but rather an introduction for those who want to know more about Maori culture and its place in everyday bicultural New Zealand.

Maori Proverbs - 4
He Whakatauaki - Maori Proverbs
Nau te rourou, naku te rourou ka ora te manuwhiri.
With your basket and my food basket the guests will have enough.

From The Reed Pocket Dictionary of Modern Maori.
