Hunting and gathering food is an essential part of life not only today but back when Maori first arrived in New Zealand. This week we will discuss the different ways in which Maori grew and collected their food and what materials they would have used in the early days. We will then see if there is a link between what we use today and the technology they used earlier on in New Zealand. We will see if there are links to what they used and also if these are still used today.

Firstly we will watch the video as a class and discuss all the ways in which Maori caught and gathered food and will look at what we still use today, Read Gardening in pre European NZ with your teacher and complete the follow up activity.
