The Māori are Indigenous Polynesian peoples with distant roots in the Lapita civilization. First inhabitants of what is called New Zealand, they arrived there more than 1000 years ago.

An extensive discussion about Māori culture, social and territorial boundaries between different Māori tribes and the importance of genealogy, the involvement of Māori culture within the governance of customs borders and the perspectives of indigenous peoples in research on borders.
