Early Maori Enterprise

Early Maori Enterprise started with tribes trading items all over New Zealand. Trades included a variety of foods, baskets and jewellery. Later on British travellers came to New Zealand asking for food, and other items. This turned into trades where the Maori people sold their valuable land and foods for unfair returns. This resulted in the Maori people selling too much of their land and belongings, leaving them with little to nothing.

Maori enterprise started with trading. They traded items like food and clothing. Soon British travellers came wanting food. The British also wanted to buy land. Then Maori sold too much, they lost their land.

This week for inquiry we were learning about Maori enterprise. After we were done we wrote a 5 sentences about how Maori started enterprise. But then we changed our 5 sentences so that we only have 10 syllables in a sentences.
