Hello readers to day I have been learning about Mahinga Kai and it is something of what the Maori do in their life time. It is job to keep the food for the winter because if they don't have food for the winter they would've died. So the book that I read was book about Karl Russell keeping his food and sources ready for the winter. First of all he was talking about him self a little . Mahinga Kai is something about keeping the food and storing it under ground like put the food in a cold place and putting the seed under ground or persevering the meat and leaving it for days and the eat it. He says that Mahinga Kai meaning is Elements of the settlement offer which particularly related to Ngai Tahu interests were: Nohoanga Customary Fisheries Management. Mahinga Kai is something to look after, protect it and pass it on. The people that learned Mahinga Kai will show other people how to do their job like collecting the food and restoring it in a nice cold place or like getting seeds and planting them under the ground and waiting until they grow and how to get the sea food out of the sea.
