What is the real situation of Maoris in New Zealand?

The Maoris are the indigenous ethnic group that inhabits
New Zealand. They arrived from Polynesian islands during the 14th century and became
known for their warlike tendencies. They coexisted fairly peacefully with the Europeans
who later colonized the islands and the Maoris still make up about 15% of the current
population, the second most prominent national ethnic group. They face many problems in
New Zealand today, however. They suffer from lower life expectancy and other health
problems, including high rates of suicide, obesity, and alcohol and drug abuse; lower
incomes; high rates of domestic violence; and a high crime rate, making up nearly half
of the New Zealand prison population. Maori students also rank poorly; less than
one-half finish school. Maoris are still seeking financial compensation for past
historical grievances.
