1. All about the Maori Villages
By Melika, Oliver, Yang and Lucia

2. Maori settlers
• Settlers moved constantly, never staying in
one place for very long.
• When they moved they would pack up, leave
and move to another village.
By Lucia

3. CHIEFS
• A man or women became a chief by being the
son or daughter of a different chief.
By Oliver

4. The Home of the Pa
• There were not as many pa as you think. The
Maori population was mobile. This means
they moved around a lot. At the pa there was
not much gardening and crop-growing.
By Melika

no more than 100.Lucia

• The villages would be seen as bases to which
to hunt from or help gather other helpful
materials like food, stone or wood. Oliver
