Learning about New Zealand changed how I look at the world in a cool way.New Zealand has a large diversity in religion. There is also a diversity in where the former people came from. New Zealand also started as a colony like America. New Zealand is two islands like south and north america.=====

New Zealand is surrounded by water so of course it has a lot of sea life. New Zealand also has a lot of lush to. Before people colonized in New Zealand birds would feed off of bushes and not have to fly away from predators because, THERE WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT! As a result of that some birds there became flightless. As a matter of fact the Kiwi bird is a flightless bird that is New Zealand's animal symbol.=====

New Zealand has a large variety of wine. They also have a lot of sea food as you could probably tell from looking at New Zealand on map. The tribe that lived on the islands of New Zealand is called Maori. They were expert hunters and fishermen. This tribe also made their own materials to hunt and fish with. Despising him, Maui’s four brothers conspired to leave him behind when they went out fishing. Overhearing their plans, Maui secretly made a fishhook from a magical ancestral jawbone. Then one night he crept into his brothers' canoe and hid under the floorboards.

It wasn't until the brothers were far out of sight of land and had filled the bottom of their canoe with fish that Maui revealed himself. Then he took out his magic fishhook and threw it over the side of the canoe, chanting powerful incantations as he did so. The hook went deeper and deeper into the sea until Maui felt the hook had touched something. He tugged gently and far below the hook caught fast. It was a huge fish! Together with his brothers, Maui brought the fish to the surface.

Maui cautioned his brothers to wait until he had appeased Tangaroa the god of the sea before they cut into the fish. They grew tired of waiting and began to carve out pieces for themselves. These are now the many valleys, mountains, lakes and rocky coastlines of the North Island

New Zealand has mountains to sandy beaches. New Zealand's south island is on a different plate then the north island and they are always rubbing up against each other. New Zealand has over 15,000 kilometers of beautiful and varied coastlines along the islands. Both islands have beautiful beaches.
