4 Moa
Moa were forest-dwelling rattites and some were big but other species were turkey-sized. They were eaten to extinction by indigenous Maori in the C16th and early C17th. There were 13 different species. Other ratites include ostrich, emu, cassowary and rhea, and kiwi. They probably didn't stand around with their heads in the air unlike some museum mounts.Moa species included:Coastal moa (Euryapteryx curtus)Crested moa (Pachyornis australis)Eastern moa (Emeus Crassus)Giant moa (Dinornis giganteus)Heavy-footed moa (Pachyornis elephantopus)Large bush moa (Dinornis novaezealandiae)Little bush moa (Anomalopteryx didiformis)Mappin's moa (Pachyornis mappini)Slender bush moa (Dinornis struthoides)Stout-legged moa (Euryapteryx geranoides)Upland moa (Megalapteryx didinus)Greater broad-billed moa (Euryapteryx gravis)Slender moa (Dinornis torosus) -
5 Koauau
<KOAUAU.JPG">A type of traditional Maori fluteTraditionally koauau were made from human thigh and arm bones, or from wood. Trees favoured for this purpose were poroporo, tutu and neinei which have a soft pith and are easily hollowed. However, matai, maire, rimu and totara which have no pith were also used. Koauau are played with the mouth, although some were played through the nose, similar tonguru (nose flutes). -
6 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. -
7 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. -
8 Te Wairoa
"The buried village"The 1886 Tarawera eruption buried the tourist village of Te Wairoa, including McRae's Hotel (Rotomahana Hotel). The village has been excavated and is now open to the public. During the euption, some houses, with their inhabitants still inside, were buried. Other houses were left empty as their owners fled the village. One of the two buildings to survive the eruption was the whare of a Maori guide, Sophia. More than 60 people sheltered there during the night. The other building was the runanga or meeting house. At the Rotomahana Hotel, the inhabitants had to first leave one room when the roof collapsed under the hail of ash, rocks and mud, and then the entire hotel. One guest died when the hotel veranda collapsed but others made it to safety in the guide's whare. The schoolteacher and five of his family were buried under tons of mud and ash. Others in the house managed to escape and sheltered for the rest of the night in a chicken house.<TE mu parsonage.jpg"> -

10 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. -
