Maori

In our journey we have now met the native Maori people. They hosted us as guests but we had to abide by their customs which included them selecting four Chief's out of the 200 guests and then one of the chiefs has to accept the peace offering and act as leader of the guests and yes you guessed it I was chosen. The culture is curious clearly they hold true to their original customs well still up holding a busy tourist attraction.
