David Simmons discussing Tui on Maungakiekie
Reading
He Tui - from The Natural World of the Maori, p 191-192
1. Were Tui ever eaten?
2. Who might be told they have a throat like a Tui's?
3. Were the males or females trained to mimic the human voice? Why do you think this might be?
4. What was taken off the bird's tongue when training it?
5. Why were the birds taken to a quiet place far away from the village?
6. What could some Tui recite, besides greetings?
7. Why was a war fought over a Tui?
