He tānga pohewa tēnei nā tētahi tohunga tā o tētahi kāinga Māori. He mea whakatū ngā kāinga nei ki ngā wāhi kei reira ngā rawa o te whenua. Nā te hī ika, tuna, īnanga me te kohi mātaitai, ka noho tūtata mai te Māori ki ngā ara wai maha: ngā moana, ngā repo, ngā awa me ngā kōawa. Ki ngā wāhi whakatipu kai, ka kimi rātou i ngā pīnakitanga e anga ana ki te raki hei whakatipu i te kūmara, te taro, me te hue. I te takiwā o te rau tau atu i 1500, ka whai hiranga ngā pā tūwatawata, ā, he rite te wā, kei ngā wāhi ikeike ēnei wāhi.
