Māori Americans are Americans of Māori descent, an ethnic group from New Zealand.
Some Māori are Mormons and are drawn to Mormon regions of Hawaii and Utah, as well as California, Arizona and Nevada.[3] Māori were part of the first Mormon Polynesian colony of the US, which was founded in Utah in 1889.[4]
Since at least 1895, many Māori have immigrated to the US to study at universities and to seek employment opportunities, in addition to doing so for religious reasons.[3]
