Tangata Whenua - People of the Land

Maori people arrived from Hawaiki in waka.

They brought crops, seed and animals with them.

They got their food from the sea and the forest.

The Moriori people were not allowed to kill or hurt people.

They found that they had the same DNA and language.

The Moa was hunted into extinction. Also rats ate their eggs.

They mainly settled in the North Island because it was warmer. They also settled on the coast to be near the sea.
