  • Perspectives of Mäori Fishing History and Techniques. Ngä Ähua Me Ngä
    Tuhinga 18: 11–47 Copyright © Te Papa Museum of New Zealand (2007) Perspectives of Mäori fishing history and techniques. Ngä ähua me ngä püräkau me ngä hangarau ika o te Mäori Chris D. Paulin Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, PO Box 467, Wellington, New Zealand ([email protected]) ABSTRACT: To pre-European Mäori, fishing was a significant component of subsistence, and the abundant coastal fish stocks provided a rich and readily available resource. However, interpreting early Mäori fishing activities using indirect sources of information, including oral traditions, archaeological evidence and historical accounts, may reflect regional, localised and chronological variation, and also be subject to cultural interpreta- tion. Pre-European Mäori fishing provided the main source of sustenance, with methods of procuring fish based on the careful observations of generations of fishermen. Fish were taken with nets (some over a mile/1.6 km in length), traps, spears and hook-and-line. Fishhooks made of wood, stone, bone, ivory or shell, based on designs developed over many thousands of years, were used as lures (pä kahawai, pohau mangä) or suspended hooks (matau). Mäori use of traditional materials to make hooks rapidly declined in favour of metals after European contact, although the demand for Mäori artefacts by curio hunters in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries led to the manufacture of large numbers of replica traditional hooks for trade. Early explorers, historians and archaeologists have commented that they considered the Mäori hooks to be ‘ill made’ or ‘impossible looking’, and were unable to decide how the hooks actually caught fish.
