maori never had beer or any such alcohol until the European moved here. The only drink maori had was there fresh water springs. Every maori tribe had there own fresh water springs. Maori's way of life was so beautiful before the European took over. Money didnt mean a thing. But now we have to learn that we need money. It's what gets us all these fancy little materials and technology and engineered food. Maori gathered Kai, built there own shelter and had their own fresh water and that was work from morning till night. Now that has been taken away from maori. European own it all now and made it possible for anyone to purchase, by tricking the maori chiefs with the treaty even though our ancestors didnt understand a word the europeans said. They brought in legeslations after all that and that's how they own all what maori looked after now. Now maori are fighting each other to be chiefs and kings and so on when they just all need to reunite. There is a leader of every family. Take it all back to the marae. It will start from there.

Pre European days, maori were not familiar with money. They hunted for their food, grew their own crops and lived off what the land had to offer in terms of food sources. Europeans then came to nz and that's when monetary value was put on items such as land, food, and other items. In early times maori traded goods in lieu of money.
