Polynesian settlers reached New Zealand around the thirteenth century, and British colonisation followed from 1840. Māori culture is central to national life, with marae, haka and the Treaty of Waitangi signed in 1840. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country. Fish and chips, meat pies and flat whites are everyday takeaway staples across New Zealand.
