What is some information about the Maori religion?
Maori people and our religion are closely tied to the natural world. Our Gods are personifications of the forces that have been and still are important to our survival.

How did maori cook on their waka?
Ocean-going waka, whatever their size, could be paddled but achieved their best speeds when propelled by sail. The Polynesian settlers of New Zealand migrated to New Zealand in large waka; some of these were waka hourua according to legend, double-hulled vessels. Maori were expert hunters and fishermen. As mostly coastal dwellers, fishing was vitally important to them. Maori considered whales as kaitiaki (guardians), and used their flesh for food and their hard, strong bones for weapons. A Maori tradition that remains today is to throw back the first fish caught. This is a way of thanking Tangaroa, god of the sea, for his bounty. It is also considered that they hopped from island to island before making their journey's end at aotea roa. The cook islands language is 97% similar to that of maori and could suggest that this was the last stop. A favourite meal that is still eaten today is diced raw fish sauced in coconut cream seasoned and salted.
