From the year 1930 many Maori people found work easier in towns. Today the river population is very low, it is less than 1,000 people. The reason why the Maori people moved to towns is because during the war elderly and young people found living in small places very hard with a lot of people because they couldn’t grow enough crops to feed everybody. How would you feel if you had to live in a very large family of up to 40 people living on a very small piece of land? Well this is what the Maori people were feeling without their crops making them any money.
