The interaction between Taiwanese and New Zealand indigenous peoples has a rich history. Earlier this year, in March, an oil painting exhibition was held in Auckland, New Zealand, centered on the theme of New Zealand Māori and Taiwan's 16 indigenous tribes. The works were on display during the 2024 New Zealand Taiwan Day as well as at the Māori meeting grounds. In April, a Māori cultural performance group and a local high school basketball team from Rotorua, New Zealand, visited Taiwan to participate in a cross-national basketball friendship match and cultural dance exchange, showcasing the unique connection and friendship between Taiwanese and New Zealand indigenous peoples.
Taiwan was also well-represented at the 13th World Choir Games, which took place in New Zealand on July 10 and featured over 10,000 singers from more than 30 countries. The Nibun Chorus, Baolai Junior High School Choir, and Kahuzas Children‘s Choir from Taiwan showcased the nation’s rich cultural heritage through traditional tunes of its indigenous and Hakka communities, highlighting the profound cultural significance of Taiwan's indigenous arts.
