New Zealand Maori War Dance Towards Modern Performing Arts

In an increasingly globalized world, countries like New Zealand are learning to cherish the national characteristics of local wealth and invest in preserving and protecting the next generation. The local indigenous Maori have taken a step to transform their traditional artistic expression into beards closer to contemporary people.
