Ⅲ.Background Information:
The First People in New Zealand
Located to the east of Australia,New Zealand is a living land,as the locals call it.
The Dutch navigator Abel Tasman was the first European to discover the existence of this new land in 1642.
Tasman's journey was not a success:the Maori natives appeared from the beaches and approaching the ship,started to sing their chants.
Tasman replied what he thought was a greeting with the ship's band,not knowing that in this way he was accepting the bellicose(好战的) challenge being offered by the Maoris.Therefore,the sailors were killed.
New Zealand was effectively discovered for the first time by Captain Cook.
Cook's landing was more fortunate than Tasman's.In fact,the English navigator took some Polynesian interpreters with him to the landing,through whom he showed his own friendliness to the Maoris.
After a long and arduous(艰难的) voyage across the Pacific on board canoes,the Maori tribes were the first real colonizers of New Zealand,arriving here from the islands of Polynesia around a thousand years ago.Canoes made the Maoris' life on the new island possible.
The Maritime Museum is a special space that is reserved for the restoration and exhibition of old Maori boats,both originals and replicas(复制品).
In the 19th century,the English settlers reached New Zealand.The English people,given the times and the maturing of world public opinion,wanted a soft colonization(殖民本质),different from the one in nearby Australia,which was internationally condemned(谴责) because it was greedy and bloody.In New Zealand,unlike Australia,the English did not enslave the natives or steal their land.
The tribes emphasized their own previous arrival in this land by calling themselves Maoris.Now,they still follow the traditional culture and customs.
There is a Maoris' typical meeting house where in older times,but still today,the tribes got together to celebrate their rites and to make important political decisions.
Here,the native population dec ided to merge(合并) with the first English settlers into a single kingdom.In the first elections,which were held in 1890,all citizens over the age of 21 years old,Maori and white,were given the vote.Three years later,women obtained the right to vote for the first time in history.
In New Zealand those who wish to combine a profound anthropological(人类学的) experience with caring for the body,can benefit from the hospitality(好客) of large family communities.
They show the typical way of cooking the food in pits filled with glowing stones.
The raw food,in general chicken,fish,pork and vegetables is steamed,and the emphasis is on abundance rather than appearance.
The Hangi,the typical Maori meal,which is seen above all as a form of conviviality(宴饮) and is accompanied by songs from the native tradition.
At the end of the banquet(宴会),a rugby match,a fine burst of movement helps the digestion(消化):this sport is one at which the Maoris are masters.
The land,which was enjoyed only by the Maoris more than 300 years ago,has become a multinational(多民族的) modern society.Peaceful co-existence among the races benefits the development of New Zealand.
