who are we hurumanu

Who are we hurumanu.

This past week we have been learning about the Maori culture and we had to watch the video and had to fell out work sheet.

The Maori came to from hawaki and they came on wake, they brought rats, dogs, kumara, crops, paper mulberry.

The Maori find a land and called it Aotearoa was name after the long white cloud. The moriori were pacifists and they came from Aotearoa, you can tall Maori and moriori apart by they language and DNA.
The moa are extinct by rats and dogs that the maori brought to NZ, the Maori mostly say in the north land because it was to cold in the south land to grow there crops.

  1. Hi Kineka
    You have some great facts about the arrival of Maori in Aotearoa. Thank you for telling us why Aotearoa is called that.
    One of your sentences which isn't true, is about the Maori and Moriori being different. We actually learnt that Moriori descended from Maori people and this is proven by them having the same DNA and language.
    Also, the Moa became extinct because of rats and dogs eating the Moa eggs, but also because the Maori hunted them for food.
    Keep working hard.
