5 Karetao
Maori jumping jacks gameKaretao were manipulated in much the same way as puppets and were used to help tell stories. Songs accompanied each set of actions. The karetao is held in an upright position with one hand at its base and the other holding the cord. By alternately pulling and slackening the cord, the arms assume different positions. At the same time, by shaking the karetao at the base, the arms are made to quiver and imitate a person doing a haka. -
6 kauru
Also waitauSteamed (in a hangi) root of the Cabbage Tree. A nutritious parsnip-shaped vegetable.

The annual task continued until 3 years after the arrival of Matara (W. B. D.
