New Zealand (Modern World Nations)

New Zealand owes its existence to undersea mountain building and is known for its active volcanoes and geothermal features. It is a land of fascinating cultures, combining the enduring history of the indigenous Maori with the descendents of the English settlers. It also has unique fauna and flora.

With the expansion of the country came the expansion of what people wore on a day-to-day basis in the wild frontier of the West. Having moved away from established towns and trade routes, early settlers in the American West made their own clothes out of necessity. With the eventual introduction of familiar fabrics and clothing items, the styles favored by Western settlers and their families were distinct.
