I still haven't had chance to see real Maori village and saw it finally on 4th February. It was an incredible adventure to enter the village, surrounded by many Maori people. Their behaviour is totally different than we have got use to see. They protect their people and homes, being pretty frightening at first. When they understand that you are a friend and come in peace - and this is what tourists definitely are - they let you in and offer nice entertainment to you.
This visit was also worth to go and see, hoping that it all was real-real what we saw.
Must also say that they are really friendly and nice, the Maoris. And what a funny language and names they have, some examples are here:
Te Puna Ariki - Tohunga (Medicine man)
Te Ao Huri - Rebel musket warrior.
Look at here for more information.
