A culture that i learned and read about was the culture of the Maori people. The Maori are the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand. They arrived and first settled in South Western Polynesia in the 1300s. By the end of the 14th century settlement was established throughout the country, most being in warmer climates. They clothed themselves with cloaks constructed of woven flax and adorned with dog fur or feathers. The northern part of new zealand was more favorable for the Maori because most of their tropical food plants reside in that region. The maori also had an abundant food suply coming from the native birds and the sea. As the Maori population increased the lifestyle of opportunism gradually adjusted to a more conservative garden agricultural instinct. Communities grew up around fertile land.
