1 Te Uri O Hau
Hapu of the Ngati WhatuaThe people of Te Uri O Hau were among the first Maori to populate Aotearoa, descending from the Waka - Mahuhu (one of the pre-hekenui waka of 1350 circa & one out of a few to bring a colonizing capacity [one other being the waka - Mamaari]) In those earlier days it was said that the people lived at Muriwhenua (in the North) that there were other people here on our arrival (the patupaiarehe) life continued harmoniously until the murder of a patupaiarehe occurred causing upheaval & fighting amongst the people of Muriwhenua who then all went their separate ways... in those days the people were more nomadic & raw they moved about & it wasn't until after the eponymous ancestor of Te Uri O Hau settled at Pouto that Te Uri O Hau became known as such. -

4 Hinaki
Maori for eel pots<HINAKI.JPG">Hinaki or eel pots are made of finely woven plant stems such as from Muehlenbeckia. They can be used attached to a net as part of a weir where they catch eels migrating down the river to the ocean to give birth, or in open waters using bait. They were placed in rivers in such a way that eels entered the larger opening with the flow of the current. Sometimes eels were kept alive in hinaki until they were needed as food. -
5 kahu huruhuru
Maori feathered cloak.The base of the cloak was made from f;ax fibre (muka) which had been washed, bleached to almost white and softened. The fibres would then be rolled together until a long yarn was formed, which was then woven into the large rectangle, shaped at the shoulders and hips. On to this was fastened the feathers, the most prized ones being those of the huia and kiwi ( especially the rare white albino kiwi). -
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. Mantell), when the Europeans had much increased in numbers and the käuru producing lands had been swept by fire and everything destroyed (Best 1942). The para rubbed from the fibre was mixed with water in a bowl. Known as waitau. Resembled jam in sweetness and consistency. -
