What sort of health did the early maori have?

chances are that Maori actually had very good health.As with any of the peoples who 'lived off the land', any genetic flaws or weaknesses were eventually 'weeded out' as the afflicted died off - of course, there were no hospitals and the tribe recognised that it would be to their own detriment to commit their resources to tending to the sickly, only to have the illnesses passed around the peers and on to offspring.Herbal and natural remedies were used for most healing, and there are a few current practitioners still around today.it was not until the European invasion that the indiginous peoples became especially sick, as they were exposed to new (to them) illnesses which they had not had the opportunity to build resistence against.The average lifespan of a Maori was about 35 years. Their teeth would fall out from chewing all the fern root, their backs deteriorate from lifting heavy objects, and they had no hospitals, so they were lucky to live beyond 35 years of age.AnswerMaori culture is like any other indigenous culture in the world by where the education is the responsibility of the whole community. Before the coming of the Pakeha (White Man) to New Zealand all literature in Maori was orally passed onto succeeding generations by the elders. This included many legends and waiata (song). The most recognised tradition is the "Haka" which is a war dance. When the child was old enough they would then enter what we call wananga (school of knowledge) where they were taught the laws and sacred knowledge of their people. Often they would also be taught in a special field of arts ie Carving, weaving, hunting, fishing, the art of oratory ect. These people were called Tohunga (Tohu = sign) the master in the art of reading signs from the gods. These wananga still exist today.

What does Te Kohanga Reo mean?

Te Kohanga Reo is (and means) the language nest of te reo (the language) of the Maori culture and indigenous people of Aotearoa-New Zealand. A tohu is a symbol or logo. The tohu of the Te Kohanga Reo movement was designed by Michelle Brown and you can find it here: So "Te Kohu of Te Kohanga Reo" Means the logo of the Kohanga reo movement/organisation. Te Kohanga Reo offers a playschool environment where children up to six years old are cared for by Nannies/kuia/whaea (older ladies) and where they speak only their native language, Maori. It was started in 1981 as a result of the fear that the Maori language was being lost. It is now a thriving entity, though not fully supported by government as are the playschools of Pakeha (white) children and this is a bone of contention for many.
