Today, the importance of marae and community remains strong, as do many time-honoured rituals. The renaissance of Maori culture has included the revival of the language and the flourishing of creative arts, including: whakairo - carving kapa haka and haka - performing arts waka ama - outrigger canoe racing ta moko - tattooing music, arts and crafts.
