Maori Kai and How They Harvest Food
  

• The maori's saved big quantities of food to feed their village and trade with other tribes.
•  The maori's used to store food on an elevated platform before it get's stored in pataka which are storehouses.    
• Still in the 21sr century maori's still hunt at the fishing spots.
• The maori's never cook their foods in the same building they slept in.
• Since the maori's didnt have pots they had to boil their food and water with red hot stones in a wooden bowl.
• Potato's could be grown easier than kumara and the pigs could be fatten really fast.
• each of the maori tribes had their own fishing spots which were protected by guardians.
• When the maori's were used to cooking with pots the only time they would cook hungi's anymore which is on special occasions.
