Early Voyagers
Over 400 years before Christopher Columbus and the rest of the Europe worried about falling off the edge of the world. The Maori people traveled thousands of miles across the unknown pacific ocean in small canoes and became the first inhabitants of Aotearoa New Zealand. Maori culture is an important part of New Zealand's National identity.

Kiwi love the great outdoors:
For the same reasons that many visitors come to New Zealand is because on how us Kiwi's have developed a passion for the outdoors. New Zealanders love the water and nearly 15% of New Zealand Families own their own boat. Hiking,Camping,fishing,bush and beach walks are other popular things that New Zealanders do to either follow in the foot steps of the most adventurous Kiwi Sir Edmund Hillary. Who everyone knows that he is the one that conquered Mount Everest, the worlds Highest Mountain in 1953.
Rugged Pioneers:
New Zealand's Europeans pioneers were brave, rugged and independent pioneers. Before the farms got established and settled the pioneers first had to clear the land. Their elements forced these early New Zealanders to become hardly multi skilled. These Rugged pioneers set a perfect example for a generation of young kiwi's business executives such as computer workers,software builders,film makers,fashion designers, and sportspeople making waves around the world.
