毛利人
新西兰的原住民，少数民族。属蒙古人种和澳大利亚人种的混合类型。使用毛利语，属南岛语系波利尼西亚语族。有新创拉丁文字母文字。信仰多神，崇拜领袖，有祭司和巫师，禁忌甚多。相传其祖先系10世纪后自波利尼西亚中部的社会群岛迁来。后与当地土著美拉尼西亚人通婚，发生混合，因此在体质特征上与其它波利尼西亚人略有不同。新西兰官方文献证明，毛利人是四千多年前从台湾迁出的原住民，毛利人参访台湾阿美族太巴塱部落祖祠，发现门窗开的位置、建筑梁柱等结构都和毛利人聚会所相同。
现在毛利人总人口70多万人，其中新西兰有62万，澳洲有12.6万，英国有8千人，美国和加拿大有4千左右。
毛利语
毛利语(Maori)是新西兰土著毛利人的语言，也是新西兰的三种官方语言之一。另两种官方语言为英语(English)和新西兰手语(The New Zealand Sign Language)。毛利人从太平洋诸岛来到新西兰之后，语音基本上变化很少。基本上各地的人都可以沟通无碍。

与毛利人鼻吻
碰鼻礼是毛利人与外来客人的见面礼。依照传统,是由部落中最德高望重的长者走向客人,以毛利人致宾客的最高礼节和客人碰鼻子。即双方将鼻尖对鼻尖地相碰两三次，然后再分开。碰鼻的时间越长,说明客人受到的礼遇越高。
毛利人认为人的灵气在头部，通过突出的鼻尖可以与别人相通，碰鼻一下是互相通神，碰鼻两 下表示在一起呼吸和生存，有相亲和友好的意思。碰鼻过后，迎宾仪式即告结束
