Maori

In Māori lately we have been learning about food. Yesterday we learnt about how to make a hāngi. We had to make instructions on how to make a hāngi and I worked with Addyson.

Here it is.

Did you know in pacific they have a Umu and in Hawaii they have something similar to a Hāngi but its called a Luao?  

While we have been learning about Hāngi I've learnt about the different layers and to make one. I have had a Hāngi before but I wasn't there when it was getting made.

When I was eating the food in the Hāngi I mainly ate the stuffing because it was DELICIOUS. 

A Hāngi can relate to Matariki because some people would want to go see Matariki and they make a little over ground Hāngi with stones and the food cooks in the middle of all the stones. When the Matariki stars come out they take the top stones off so the steam comes out and feeds the spirits of Matariki.
