Today’s Maori TribeToday, about 530'000 Maoris live in New Zealand. Because of the high numbers of mixed marriages between Maoris and white people (the “Pakeha“), there live very few Maori of pure Maori descent now. Nowadays, the Maoris are included in political, economic and social institutions, for example the New Zealand Maori Council, the Maori Women’s Welfare League and the Maori Education Foundation.
