As Europeans moved to New Zealand, the Maori began to see themselves as a nation.
This was because of the fact that the Maori tribe didn’t want to see themselves together with the Europeans and wanted to distinguish and recognize themselves.
EXPLANATION:
Maori are an indigenous tribe of New Zealand. The Maori people lived in isolation for many centuries until the Europeans and other settlers started migrating to New Zealand.
They have their own distinct culture, traditions, language, crafts, and mythologies.
