Maori Life Before the Europeans
The text is based in New Zealand,In the North island and the South island
Origins. One theory is that the first Polynesians arrived in Hawaiki in the 3rd century from the Marquesas by travelling in groups of waka, and were followed by Tahitians in AD 1300, who then conquered the original inhabitants.

Māori wear constructed and wore practical, protective garments in hardy materials to keep warm and dry. These included rain capes and cloaks made from a variety of materials.The weaving technique for most rain capes and cloaks was whatu aho patahi, single-pair twining, which enabled faster construction.

The Maori lived in a hut or a whare and the Maori people built their stone house poles to protect their food and dampness and there was rats and dogs inside of the house. A pa (fortress) was usually situated on a hill or cliff.People lived inside if they heard war chants or a shell bugle meaning a warning for a attack and the Maori people ran inside of the Pa and they lived in a iwi (tribes).
