New Zealand

New Zealand is a remote, mountainous group of islands located off the southeast coast of Australia. 

New Zealand's two main islands, North and South Islands, are separated by the Cook Strait. Australia , its nearest neighbor, is 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) away.

The islands were created just 23 million years ago when land was thrust out of the ocean by volcanic forces. New Zealand has more than 50 volcanoes, some of which are still active today. Sharp snowy peaks, rocky shores, and pastures create a majestic landscape.

The South Island is home to the highest mountain peak in New Zealand, Mount Cook, which rises to 12,316 feet (3,754 meters) and is called "Cloud Piercer" by the Maori people.

PEOPLE & CULTURE

New Zealanders, or "Kiwis" as they are called, have been shaped by their isolation. Today, most Kiwis are no longer farmers, with 86 percent of the population living in cities. More people live in the city of Auckland on North Island, than the whole population of South Island.

The Maori named the country, Aotearoa, "The Land of the Long White Cloud." The Maori culture is widely respected by New Zealanders and many parcels of land under dispute were returned to the Maori in 1998.

Rugby is the favorite sport and nearly everyone cheers on the national team, the All Blacks. Many Kiwis also enjoy cricket.

Because of its remote location, New Zealand is rich in unusual wildlife not seen anywhere else in the world. Nearly all the land animals are birds and many of these species have lost the ability to fly. The Maori people and European settlers introduced animals to the islands and the flightless birds had no defense against them.

In the last 1,000 years, half of all animals on the islands have become extinct. Deforestation and draining of swamp land is also threatening many remaining species, including the kiwi bird. Fewer than 75,000 wild kiwis remain. Several species are recovering, including the kakapo, kokako, kiwi, and tuatara.

Bats are the only land mammals to have made the ocean crossing. Birds and insects, such as the weta, evolved to fill the gap of mammals on the islands. The giant weta, at 2.5 ounces (70 grams), weighs three times more than a mouse. It is a relative of crickets and is considered one of the world's heaviest insects.

Pilot and humpback whales visit the islands on their way to breed, and orcas come to feed on dolphins.

GOVERNMENT & ECONOMY

New Zealand's government is based on the parliamentary democracy based on the system used in Britain. There are 122 seats in the House of Representatives and each is elected for a three-year term. Seven seats are reserved for the Maori and they are chosen by Maori voters.

There are two main parties, National and Labour. The party with the most elected representatives forms the government. The leader of the party is the Prime Minister.

Tourism is the main industry in New Zealand with over two million visitors a year. The main exports are lamb, butter, kiwifruit, and wine.

The Maori people arrived by canoe from islands in Polynesia near Tahiti around 1,000 A.D. In the 1600s, the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman visited the islands, but his party left after being attacked. New Zealand was named Nieuw Zeeland after a region in the Netherlands.

In 1769, Captain James Cook came to the islands. The British established settlements and signed a treaty with the Maori in 1840. The Maori protested the treaty after their lands were seized, and in the 1860s, they began a 12-year war against the British for control of North Island. Peace was restored to the islands in the 1870s.

In 1893, New Zealand became the first country to give women the right to vote. The country became a dominion of Britain in 1907 and gained its independence from Britain in 1947.

New Zealand (Māori: Aotearoa) is a sovereign island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. It is part of Australasia.New Zealand is about 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea. The country has two main landmasses—the North Island (Te Ika-a-Māui), and the South Island (Te Waipounamu)—and around 600 smaller islands. It has a total land area of 268,000 square kilometres (103,500 sq mi).

• The capital city of New Zealand is Wellington.
• Its currency is the New Zealand dollar.
• This island country is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, an organisation of 52 countries - most with a shared history as part of the former British Empire. This is why we can see the Union Jack (the British flag) on the New Zealand flag, and why Queen Elisabeth II is queen of New Zealand.
• They also drive on the left of the road.
• The country has three official languages: English, Maori, and the New Zealand sign language.

Basic facts

James Cook, an English explorer, landed in New Zealand.

In 1840, representatives of the United Kingdom and Māori chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi, which declared British sovereignty over the islands.

New Zealand was the first country to grant women the right to vote

Dutch explorer Abel Tasman became the first European to sight New Zealand.He called the islands "Nieuw Zeelandt"

During World War I, one hundred thousand NewZealanders (one tenth of the population) fought overseas under British orders.

New Zealand gained full statutory independence in 1947 and the British monarch remained the head of state

New Zealand became a dominion

New Zealand became a colony within the British Empire, but Brits and Maoris had different interpretations of the treaty, and this led to wars in the 1860s.

Because of its remoteness, New Zealand was the last large habitable land to be settled by humans. Between about 1280 and 1350, Polynesians began to settle in the islands and developed a distinctive Māori culture

A brief history

Watch this video and make a list of all the activities Carlos did during his two-week trip.

Backpacking around NZ

New Zealand's stunning landscapes captivated movie fans around the world as the unbilled star of the hugely successful The Lord of the Rings film trilogy.

Lord of the rings

Made popular by the New Zealand All Blacks, the national rugby team, the Haka is a Māori war dance that was traditionally saved for the battlefield. The action-packed dance is a display of strength and pride, which includes powerful stomps of the feet, wide eyes and the well-known tongue poking.

Rugby and haka

This is a marae, Maraes are tribal meeting grounds, and they offer unique opportunities to discover more about their culture and history first-hand. Some of the activities you can witness at maraes include speeches and displays of traditional Māori singing and dancing, but you have to be invited in.

Maori culture

New Zealanders are colloquially known as Kiwis. This nickname comes from the kiwi, a small bird that can't fly and that only lives in NZ. Largely hunted, this species is endangered. It has become the national animal of New Zealand.

Subject Material

An Introduction to New Zealand

The population of New Zealand is 4.3 million and is mostly comprised of people of European descent; the indigenous Māori are the largest minority. Asians and non-Māori Polynesians are also significant minority groups, especially in urban areas. The most commonly spoken language is English.

New Zealand is a developed country that ranks highly in international comparisons of the world's best places to live. The country also has numerous smaller islands, most notably Stewart Island/Rakiura and the Chatham Islands.

Geographically isolated

New Zealand is notable for its geographic isolation. Situated about 2000 km southeast of Australia, across the Tasman Sea, its closest neighbours to the north are New Caledonia, Fiji and Tonga.

The two main islands together make the country the 75th largest in the world, giving it a little-brother status to Australia. The capital city of New Zealand is Wellington, though most are more familiar with Auckland, which is the largest city.

The land of the Long White Cloud

It is unknown whether the Māori had a name for New Zealand as a whole, before the arrival of Europeans. What is known, is that they referred to the North Island as Te Ika a Māui ("the fish of Māui") and the South Island as Te Wai Pounamu ("the waters of greenstone") or Te Waka o Aoraki ("the canoe of Aoraki"). Until the early 20th century, the North Island was also referred to as Aotearoa ("land of the long white cloud"); in modern Māori usage, this name refers to the whole country.

Building an economy

Economically, New Zealand is managing a lot better now than in the 1970s and 1980s. Earlier, New Zealand’s export market was the United Kingdom, where they exported massive quantities of meat and dairy products. When Britain joined the European Union in the 1970s, part of the deal was that Britain should import from the other EU countries. This lead to an economic catastrophe for New Zealand.

Many people actually left New Zealand to settle in Australia, and political measures were taken to better the situation. Now things look a lot more optimistic. Agriculture continues to be the main export industry in New Zealand, and in 2007 a New Zealand dairy cooperative controlled almost one-third of the international dairy trade.

Other export items of New Zealand are meat, wood, fruit and fish. New Zealand also has a thriving wine industry.

The tourism industry plays an important role in New Zealand’s economy and is the country's biggest 'export' earner, with about 3.8 million tourists (2019) visiting per year. New Zealand is marketed as a "clean, green" adventure playground, with typical destinations being nature areas such as Milford Sound and the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, while activities such as bungee jumping or whale watching exemplify typical tourist attractions.

Vulnerable wildlife

Because of its long isolation from the rest of the world and its island biogeography, New Zealand has extraordinary flora and fauna. However, the country has suffered a high rate of wildlife extinctions. This is mainly due to human activities such as hunting and pressure from introduced animals, such as weasels, stoats, cats, goats, deer and brush-tailed possums. Five indigenous vascular plant species are now believed to be extinct, including Adam's Mistletoe and a species of Forget-me-not (a small, blue flower).

New Zealand has led the world in island restoration projects, where offshore islands are cleared of introduced mammalian pests and native species are reintroduced. Several islands located near the three main islands are wildlife reserves, where common pests such as possums and rodents have been eradicated to allow the reintroduction of endangered species to the islands.

Watch out for the Kea Parrot

On the brighter side, the Kea Parrot of New Zealand is alive and well and is probably the rudest bird on earth! It is not at all afraid of humans, and doesn’t say no to a nibble at people’s tires or windshield wipers, or even their fingers, if it gets close enough.

New Zealand’s cultural influences are predominantly European and Māori . Immigrant groups have generally tended to assimilate into the European lifestyle, although traditional customs are still followed by many Tongans, Samoans, and other Pacific peoples. Māori culture suffered greatly in the years of colonization and into the 20th century, and many Māori were torn between the pressure to assimilate and the desire to preserve their own culture . However, since the 1950s there has been a cultural renaissance, with a determined effort to preserve and revive artistic and social traditions. The culture of the Pākehā (the Māori term for those of European descent) has come to incorporate many aspects of Māori culture. The biennial Te Matatini festival, first held in 1972, celebrates Māori culture, especially the traditional dance and song performances known as kapa haka . The festival is held over several days, each time in a different region of New Zealand, and culminates in the national kapa haka championship.

The state has moved progressively to assist and encourage the arts. Creative New Zealand, the national agency for arts funding, gives annual grants in support of theatre , music, modern dance and ballet , opera , and literature . In addition, New Zealand was one of the first countries to establish a fund to compensate writers for the loss of royalties on books borrowed from libraries rather than purchased. The national orchestra is supported by the government through the Ministry for Culture and Heritage. The government also provides taxation and other incentives for the motion-picture industry, and New Zealand-made films have received growing international recognition.

Recent News

The Māori culture has seen a renaissance in wood carving and weaving and in the construction of carved and decorated meeting houses ( whare whakairo ). Māori waiata (songs) and dances have become increasingly popular, especially among the young. Māori meetings—whether hui (assemblies) or tangi (funeral gatherings)—are conducted in traditional fashion, with ancient greeting ceremonies strictly observed. Waves of migrants have also brought different cultures that are celebrated in a variety of ways—for example, in annual festivals such as the Chinese Lantern Festival and Lunar New Year and the Indian festival Diwali .

New Zealand cuisine has also been influenced by the foods of immigrants and the expectations of international tourists. It was originally a combination of traditional British dishes with local delicacies. Fresh seafood was popular along the coasts; mutton , venison , and meat pies were common. Pavlova, a sweet meringue dish, was and remains a popular dessert . Food, however, has become more imaginative and cosmopolitan , and there are many restaurants , bistros, and cafés in the major cities and towns that present a range of classic and ethnic menus. A traditional Māori feast of meat, seafood, and vegetables is steamed for hours in an earthen oven ( hāngī ).

New Zealand celebrates a number of national public holidays . Waitangi Day —February 6, the anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi (1840)—is considered the country’s national day. Commemorations are centred on Waitangi but are held throughout the country. Public celebrations include Māori ceremonies as well as sporting events, music, and parades. With the increasing attention paid to Māori history and culture, Waitangi Day has also become an occasion for reflection on the historical effects of European settlement on the indigenous people. Another, more sombre, public holiday is ANZAC Day —April 25, the day in 1915 when amphibious New Zealand and Australian (ANZAC) forces landed at the Gallipoli Peninsula ( Turkey ) and began one of the iconic battles of World War I . The holiday honours those who have served in New Zealand’s military forces, especially those killed in war.

The arts in New Zealand have been strongly influenced by the desire to establish a national identity distinct from that of other cultures. Numerous writers were active in the late 19th century, the most successful of whom were historians, such as William Pember Reeves , and ethnologists, including S. Percy Smith and Elsdon Best. The work of the first genuinely original New Zealand writers, the short-story author Katherine Mansfield and the poet R.A.K. Mason, did not appear until the 1920s. In the 1930s, during the harsh years of the Great Depression , a group of poets appeared and established a national tradition of writing. Although influenced by contemporary English literature — T.S. Eliot and W.H. Auden were greatly respected—they wrote about their New Zealand experience. The most-notable member of this group was Allen Curnow . A.R.D. Fairburn, Denis Glover, and Charles Brasch were other major poets. At the same time, Frank Sargeson began writing the superb stories in the New Zealand vernacular for which he became well known.

The work of those pioneering writers was followed by that of such widely published and acclaimed poets as James K. Baxter , Kendrick Smithyman, Ian Wedde, and Elizabeth Smither. A number of novelists have also earned international reputations, notably Janet Frame , Keri Hulme , Sylvia Ashton-Warner , Lloyd Jones, and mystery writer Ngaio Marsh . Authors Witi Ihimaera and Patricia Grace explored the intersection of Māori and Pākehā culture. Poet Hone Tuwhare has achieved an international reputation. Those and other New Zealand writers were greatly aided by the growth of the publishing industry in New Zealand.

The first painter to achieve international recognition, Frances Hodgkins, spent most of her life abroad. In the 1960s, however, an unprecedented art scene began to emerge, created initially by a group of artists, including Colin McCahon and Don Binney, who were helped by the rise of commercial galleries in most large towns and cities. Although New Zealand is often the subject of those paintings, they clearly reflect international influences. That group paved the way for what has become a small legion of artists. Since the late 20th century, Māori arts have experienced growing popularity, and works of visual art are prominently displayed in numerous galleries and museums.

In the 1970s and ’80s, professional theatre companies—including Downstage in Wellington and the Mercury in Auckland—rose to prominence in the major cities, and they have since been joined or succeeded by a number of small, more experimental companies. A national symphony orchestra tours within New Zealand and internationally, and most towns have musical groups or orchestras that play locally. New Zealand singers who garnered an international following include Dame Kiri Te Kanawa , Inia Te Wiata, and Donald McIntyre. Popular music has a long history and was dominated in the late 20th and early 21st centuries by such artists as brothers Neil and Tim Finn and their bands Split Enz and Crowded House, Dave Dobbyn, Bic Runga, and the hip-hop rapper Scribe.

New Zealand has a well-developed film industry, and the country has been the setting for a number of films by international directors who took advantage of the local scenery, skilled production workers, and government tax concessions . The films of New Zealand directors Jane Campion and Peter Jackson had notable success around the world; Campion’s The Piano (1993) and Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001–03) in particular received much acclaim. The work of actors Sam Neill , Anna Paquin , Lucy Lawless , and New Zealand-born Australian Russell Crowe has been recognized internationally.

How to Make a “Good” Presentation “Great”

• Guy Kawasaki

Remember: Less is more.

A strong presentation is so much more than information pasted onto a series of slides with fancy backgrounds. Whether you’re pitching an idea, reporting market research, or sharing something else, a great presentation can give you a competitive advantage, and be a powerful tool when aiming to persuade, educate, or inspire others. Here are some unique elements that make a presentation stand out.

• Fonts: Sans Serif fonts such as Helvetica or Arial are preferred for their clean lines, which make them easy to digest at various sizes and distances. Limit the number of font styles to two: one for headings and another for body text, to avoid visual confusion or distractions.
• Colors: Colors can evoke emotions and highlight critical points, but their overuse can lead to a cluttered and confusing presentation. A limited palette of two to three main colors, complemented by a simple background, can help you draw attention to key elements without overwhelming the audience.
• Pictures: Pictures can communicate complex ideas quickly and memorably but choosing the right images is key. Images or pictures should be big (perhaps 20-25% of the page), bold, and have a clear purpose that complements the slide’s text.
• Layout: Don’t overcrowd your slides with too much information. When in doubt, adhere to the principle of simplicity, and aim for a clean and uncluttered layout with plenty of white space around text and images. Think phrases and bullets, not sentences.

As an intern or early career professional, chances are that you’ll be tasked with making or giving a presentation in the near future. Whether you’re pitching an idea, reporting market research, or sharing something else, a great presentation can give you a competitive advantage, and be a powerful tool when aiming to persuade, educate, or inspire others.
