11. Hangi
 Hangi is a traditional New Zealand Māori
method of cooking food using heated rocks
buried in a pit oven still used for special
occasions.
 To "lay a hangi" or "put down a hangi" involves
digging a pit in the ground, heating stones in
the pit with a large fire, placing baskets of
food on top of the stones, and covering
everything with earth for several hours before
uncovering (or lifting) the hangi

12. Kumara –Sweet Potato
 kumara was grown, although in many cases
free-draining sand, gravels and pumice were
mixed with humus rich loam. Kumara are slow
growing in the temperate NZ climate and need
free-draining sub soils. In the Eastern Golden Bay
north facing slopes were favoured.

13. Warfare
 Intertribal warfare are essential parts of
their culture.
 It was their way of gaining control of their
land.
 After defeating a tribe, they either eat the
defeated (ultimate insult) or they take the
women and children to be their slaves.
 Their weapons consisted of long or short
wooden clubs resembling spear, but are
not thrown.
