There is a tendency of anthropologists to examine 'primate' cultures scientifically and ignore their own.
I say, ignore the Maori unless you happen to be one. Its not your culture. Focus on how YOUR people are effected by the natural environment. Its an obnoxiously vague question of course, but building a large city to escape the natural environment would count in my book, or how work patterns change to accommodate the eco-tourists, etc, or hell have fun and go with fashion changes with the seasons.
If I were your professor and I saw you talking about the Maori, I'd read it, critique it, and give you an F for not answering the question.
