How the early Polynesians adapted to their new country
Food: When the Polynesians came they ate some food that they brought with them but they needed to find more, they had to find some similar foods.
The Polynesians couldn’t grow all the things they had before because the cooler climate stopped them from growing. So they learnt how to grow some foods such as kumara and gourds underground.
Fishing and Hunting: The Polynesians wanted to get some meat so they started to think, then they got it. They started to get to work, they made a noose. It was a rope that they would tie around the moa’s neck and it would strangle it and then it would die. So then they would have plenty of meat and flesh and protein that it would last them about a day because they only took off the legs ( the nice juicy parts ) and ate that. Then they would leave the rest to rot on the ground. They killed heaps of moas a day, but they left the bones and the skeletons for their dogs to bite on.
