Mahinga Kai

Today's lesson was about Mahinga Kai it's our reading activity that we have to do and finish. So this Hurumanu 1 was our social study and reading time, and today I have to share to you guys some facts about what I learn. I will share you guys two of the activities in the slide, I picked this two because I enjoy doing it and learn some new things about it. These two activities were about a person who have been farming to live and to eat food, I was actually inspired about the story of Karl Russell let's just say that he always work hard to feed himself, and love the nature. And he don't waste money to buy food because he knows to his self that the nature can provide him.

And then he shared some facts where he find some of the foods like at the beach, or at his backyard. This story is basically about how to preserve foods. And here is the two activity:

What does “living off the land” mean for Karl?
For Karl Russell call himself as a rich man because he was living off the land and for him it means that he was growing his own food. Like growing hunted traded or even collected himself, for him its a seasontraitional which means he work for summer, autumn and he need to preserve the food so it will last the winter. And the reward is eating the best food nature provide instead of going to supermarket and spending most of your money. 
Where does he find food?
He find his food by growing them and collected them. Sometimes he goes to nearby beaches and collects some kaimoana like tuaki, kutai, paua, and kina. 
Second One:
Why is knowing about seasons important?
It’s was because Karl follows their traditional seasonal and it means knowing the season was important, because if he doesn’t know what season is it he wouldn’t be able to save food for winter. Like no plants are growing in winter but instead it will die and not grow properly and you also would waste a precious seeds. Also he knows what season he will grow the plants and when he would collect them. 
What happens to the kai that Karl gathers?
Karl and his whanau will hunted it first and gathered then traded there for generations, and he will eat them but still need to preserve other of the foods he collect in forest and beaches. So still have some foods to eat in winter.
