            Hunting:

Hunting is something that you do to catch food so that you can eat so that you will survive. To hunt in that time you would have to use spears and traps to catch the animals and all the food that you are going to need to survive. 

To hunt you need to require a lot of skills so that you can catch your pray other wise they will run away and you wont be able to catch anything for you to eat.

     

Cooking:

To cook some times you used to dig a hole and put some stones in it. You would then put all the food on the stones and then put something over top of all the food. You would then cover it with all the dirt. After a couple of hours time you would then dig up the dirt and then the food would be cooked and ready to eat.

Fishing:

To fish you would put nets into the water leave them there for a we bit and then you would come back and if you were lucky sometimes you would get a couple of fish in your net. Another way that you could do it is you could get a rope and you would put a hock on the end of it throw it into the water with bait on it and sometimes you would get a bite and you would have a fish to eat.

Navigation

Maori would use the starts as a compass to find there way around. They would also use the wind. They would use the sun in the day time. They would use the tide to see how far in it is or how far out it is. They would also use the moon to find where to go.
