Kaihopu manu me ā rātou kererū

Hunters with kererū

Nō te tau 1900 pea tēnei whakaahua o ētahi kaipuhipuhi manu me ā rātou kererū. Ngāwari noa iho te pupuhi kererū, nā whai anō he nui rawa atu i pūhia. Ka tautohetohe te Māori ki ngā Pākehā puhipuhi manu mō te wā tika ki te hopu kererū. Ko te hiahia o ngā Pākehā kia moata te wā mahi manu, i ngā marama e ngangahau ana te manu. Heoi, ko te hiahia o te Māori kia mahia te kererū atu i te paunga o te ngahuru ahu atu ki te takurua, koirā te wā e mōmona ana te manu.
