Introduction –

 

New Zealand (also known as Aotearoa) is a small island nation located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. With a population of just under 5 million people, it is a perfect place to live. This country has managed to preserve its unique cultural heritage while embracing the modern world. This essay will discuss the history, tourism, and sports sectors of Aotearoa. 

 

History –

In the Maori culture, Matariki is the Maori new year. There are 8 stars in the sky around in the morning. Each star have a meaning which is very special to their character. On the 20th of June we celebrate it and we have a massive festival where the bike hub is at Glen Innes, there are massive lights everywhere around the field and at 10 pm there are massive fireworks at the end.

 

The Haka is also a history because long long ago they used it for a war so they could scare their enemies from fighting and to also fire up warriors in the battlefield. To this day sports, funerals, and birthdays are a celebration of the Maori community. 

 

Their language is also a history because when the ancestors of the people called themselves Maori in the 13th century they brought the polynesian language with them.

 

Also the Treaty of Waitangi is a history document long long ago at the year 1840 February 6th where the Maori chiefs called the rangatira signed it. The main purpose of the treaty was to ensure that both parties to it would live together peacefully and have New Zealand In partnership

 

Tourism

At Auckland city there is a tower called the Sky Tower and the coolest thing about it is that everytime it is new years there would be a timer around which when the timer is over fireworks from the sky tower goes flying in the sky. 

 

In Auckland we have amazing food to try out like the hangi which is a cultural food which gets cooked underground for about 5-6 hours.

 

 We also have an amusement park which is called Rainbows End and inside there are crazy roller coasters and rides there! Rainbows End also has food trucks when you’re hungry.

 

Sports  –

 

In New Zealand we have lots of sports but our known sports is rugby. Rugby is a sport that is very popular in New Zealand and our 3 main teams are the All Blacks, Warriors and the Silver Ferns!

 

 First we have the All Blacks and that team had three titles and 49 wins in total in their name! It has been said that New Zealand is the most successful team in Rugby World Cup history!

 

 Second we also have the warriors and they made it to the Nrl finals twice but sadly lost and have no premierships but this year is their year Up the Wahs!!

 

Last but not least is the Silver Ferns is a team from netball and they are a pretty good team and as of 2023, the Silver Ferns have been world champions on 5 occasions!

 

Also we have Olympics New Zealanders who won a gold medal for our country like Valerie Adams who won a gold medal for shot put and is one of the most famous people in Aotearoa!

 

In conclusion, this essay has examined New Zealand, it’s history, with important things like the Treaty of Waitangi and Matariki; its awesome tourist spots, like the Sky Tower and trying hangi food; and its super strong sports teams, like the All Blacks and Silver Ferns. All of these things show how New Zealand keeps its old traditions alive and is still a super exciting place to visit. Basically, through its history, fun tourist spots, and great sports, New Zealand shows us how to balance old and new in a really neat way and a great place to live.
