Why are New Zealanders called Kiwis?

Māori people have always held the kiwi bird in high regard. Their feathers were used to make 'kahu kiwi', valuable cloaks worn by tribal chiefs.

In the early 1900s, cartoonists started to use images of the kiwi bird to represent New Zealand as a country. 

During the First World War, New Zealand soldiers were referred to as 'kiwis', and the nickname stuck.
