Early Maori Enterprise

In the early 1800, Maori was the first trading company, who did bartering and haggling which means to trade and to negotiate. They would plant kumara and would bring back the money they got from selling, but they traded too many items that were not worth what the item originally was, or what it was traded for. The inland tribes often traded berries to the coastal tribe for seafood. Maori were the key producers and suppliers of agriculture produce. After trading many items, it explains why Maori signed over their land by the 1900s.

For Inquiry, we wrote 5 sentences explaining how Maori were the first trading company and then we each of our sentences needs to have 10 syllables. We count them by clapping, tapping our thigh and stomping our feet so that we know how many syllables are in the sentence. I had fun doing Inquiry and learning about enterprise and economics.
