6. New Zealand has an incredibly rich and dynamic history and culture. It is thought that only
the birds lived here before around 1400 AD so all of our human history is fairly recent.
Maoris were the first inhabitants of New Zealand, arriving on the islands in about 1000. Maori
oral history maintains that the Maoris came to the island in seven canoes from other parts of
Polynesia. The European influenced on the history of New Zealand.

14.  One area where men have low representation
is in early childhood education (ECE). In
2010, there were 19,901 early childhood
teachers in New Zealand, only 349 (1.75%)
of whom were men.
Similar to ECE, nursing is another non traditional role
where men are the minority. Only 7.76% of New Zealand
nurses are male. Men are deterred from the nursing
profession for similar reasons that they are deterred from
ECE including; believing others would see them as unmanly,
having limited career options and being poorly paid.
Concerted effort is required to recruit more men in nursing
and to break gendered stereotypes.

15. Gender roles
 The Modern Apprenticeship Scheme aims to increase the
number of young people in industry training. The
traditional under-representation of women in non-
traditional work represents a significant opportunity for
improved female participation and increased diversity in
the Modern Apprenticeship Scheme. However it has
failed to deliver gender equality to date.
In 2010, there were 11,926 modern apprentices87.
Female participants accounted for 12.4% but this
is almost entirely due to the inclusion of
hairdressing in the modern apprenticeship scheme.
Without hairdressing the women’s participation
rate drops to 8.4%.

clothing.html
Clothing from the past A knee long kilt like garment held by a
waistband called puipui. Men had the more
ornate design on their waistband with
geometric patterns in black and white
opposing the plain belt of the woman’s one.
A cloak that was worn around the
shoulders. Its various names reflected its
use and the material of decoration.
Softened fibres of New Zealand flax were
the first choice of material to weave the
base called kakahu . A Korowai was a cloak
decorated with tassles and bird feathers.

17. Clothing in the present
In keeping with New Zealand's relaxed lifestyle, dress is informal on most
occasions.

http://blog.gmedical.com/Locums-for-a-Small-World/bid/42121/Ta-moko-A-rite-of-passage-for-any-
Ta Moko is a type of art form used my the Maori people of New Zealand.
The Maori, being the natives to the New Zealand land. This type of art goes
far back. Ta Moko is a tattoo; not just any tattoo, it is applied by chiseling it
into the skin as opposed to normal tattoos using a needle. Ta Moko for men
can be anywhere on the body, but for women it is primarily on the lips and
face. Wiki (2011)
J.M. Wilson (2003). The Maori people have tribes, by using the
Ta Moko, one could communicate which tribe they belonged to and their
place in the tribe such as their social standing. Ta Moko was used to convey
someone’s ancestry. As time has gone on the use of Ta Moko’s has declined,
as has the ability to read someone’s Ta Moko. The Maori are not required to
get Ta Moko’s, they get them because they choose to. The symbols and
designs on their tattoos are unique to them. If you can read someone’s Ta
Moko you can learn a lot about them, who they are, and where they came
from. The Maori obviously are very proud of their heritage or they would
not chose to adorn their bodies with it.
Many people in our culture are very cautious around those who
would have tattoos all over their bodies, especially their face. “Americans
place an undue emphasis on looks” (p.95. Understanding Nonverbal
Messages: Appearance. Blue Book). Having a lot of tattoos here in America
can sometimes be tied to bikers and criminals, this kind of stereotyping
would make it hard for us to communicate with the Maori, but by
understanding their culture and the purpose behind the Ta Moko we can
communicate with less judgment and more acceptance.

20. Anyone who has seen a movie based in
Europe or Australia knows that English has
some different dialects. The same is true
for the English spoken in New Zealand. Even
though we speak the same language as New
Zealanders the fact that we speak a
different dialect would make it difficult
for us to understand some of the things
they say. The term for the English used by
New Zealanders is called “Kiwi Slang”. An
example of some confusion that we would
find by the language is terms like “brassed
off” meaning annoyed, another would be
“yonks” meaning forever. What might sound
weird to us, makes complete sense to them.
Our biggest asset in communication is
awareness. Do your research before
traveling to another country, you can easily
look up Kiwi Slang and print out a guide of
the different words and their meaning to
help you out in communicating with New
Zealanders. By being aware of these
differences in our language we can help
bridge the gap of communication.

24. A way to interact and communicate with the Maori
culture, is to attend a Hangi, which is a way of
cooking food (Kai is the Maori word for food) and a
social occasion to share with friends and family.
Hangi is a special way of cooking food under the ground using red hot rocks and steam.
Rocks or bricks are heated on a pile of burning wood.
When the rocks are hot they need to be carefully rolled or lifted into a pit in the ground and the
wire baskets of food quickly put on top.
The basket is then covered with wet sheets and the wet sheets get covered with wet sacks. Then
the sacks are covered with dirt.
The water from the wet cloths turns into steam through the heat of the rocks, the steam can’t
escape through the dirt so it steam cooks the food.
The meat is put in the basket first basket (chicken, fish, shellfish, pork and lamb), the veggies on
top (kumara (purple potatoes), pumpkin, and corn on the cob and herbs and spices.
You can also add the desert of steam pudding in the basket
Seven hours later you open the box and enjoy the succulent meat and vegetables that taste wonderful after being steamed in
the earth, and also get to know new friends and old friends

26. Two special Holidays that are only celebrated in New Zealand are: Anzac
Day and Waitangi Day
Anzac Day
Held on Apirl 25 is similar to our Veterans Day. It is to commemorate
those who died in the service of their country and to honor those
servicemen and women who returned. This originated from the
anniversary of the landing of the Australian and New Zealand Army
Corps at Gallipoli in 1915.
On the first anniversary of that landing services were held throughout
the country in remembrance of the 2,721 New Zealand soldiers who died
during the eight-month Gallipoli Campaign. Since 1916 Anzac Day has
evolved to the observance we know today.
They even have a special cookie called an Anzac Biscuit (cookie).
Waitangi Day
Held on February 6 February to commemorate the signing of New
Zealand's founding document - the Treaty of Waitangi - in 1840. This
holiday was first declared in 1974, and has grown in significance for all
New Zealanders through the Māori renaissance that has fostered better
understanding of the Treaty’s ramifications. Official celebrations are
held at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds in the Bay of Islands, Northland,
but there are also many other events throughout the country.
