1 Moriori
Perhaps the Moriori were the first humans to inhabit NZ. If they did exist, they were a polynesian people. There is much doubt over their existence as a separate race of colonisers. They may have eventually settled on the Chatham Islands. -

5 moki
Latridopsis ciliaris (Moki trumpeter)<BLUEMOKI.JPG">Average size 55-70cmWeighing 2-3kg, but can grow up to 10kgOccurs all around New Zealand and southern Australia.Blue moki has a deep compressed body, moderate sized head and mouth with thick fleshy lips, small paired fins. Large scales. Blue-gray above, with several dark bands, silver-grey on flanks, white below. Distributed all around New Zealand but most common around the South Island, and from Cape Runaway to Hawkes Bay to depths of 100m. Taken mainly by trawling and set nets. Caught all year round. A small resource, perhaps yielding 1000 tonnes per annum. Of all related species occurring in New Zealand, trumpeter is a small commercial resource, and copper moki is uncommon. The red moki, in the related family Cheilodactylidae, is common but threatened because it is a very slow-growing species. -

7 tawaka
A species of fungus, grows in summer on dead trees and logs of tawa, houhi and mähoe (Best 1908, 1942)FOOD Gathered in summer and steamed. Sometimes prepared by the huahua or kohua process (stone-boiling). Grow to a great size. Best states that he saw specimens 12 inches in diameter growing on half-decayed tawa stumps (Best 1908, 1942).DYES "Ka mumura katoa te wai i tunua ai taua tawaka" - the water in which the tawaka was cooked becomes red (or perhaps brown) (Best 1903)TRADITIONS Best mentions that if a person who has eaten tawaka passes through a gourd plot, all the gourds will decay on the runners. Similarly, if that person were to go netting the kokopu Galaxias fasciatus, he wouldn't catch any. -
8 Te Whiti o Rongomai
(c1830-1907)Leader of passive resistance against European confiscation of Maori Land, and a Maori perhaps more unfairly treated by pakeha settlers than any other. He was born in Taranaki, a member of the Te Ati Awa tribe, and educated at a mission school, where he was noted for his aptitude for bible studies. After he left school he set up a flour mill at a place called Warea, about 35 kilometres south-west of New Plymouth, and was living peacefully in the parihaka.area when in March 1860, the early days of the Land Wars, the undefended settlement was shelled from the sea by a British warship, the Niger, and then burned to the ground by colonial troops. He later established Parihaka. -
