101 Ways To Use A MoaOur numbers tell a story of how plentiful the moa used to be. We were excavated from the site of a 14th century Maori village at Houhora in Northland. Way back then, when the big bird had been eaten, its bones were used to make fishhooks. Lots of moa, lots of fishhooks, lots of fish! Trouble was, when we were uncovered all those centuries later there were so many of us we were just piled into boxes for storage. Now you can at last appreciate what we meant to the original inhabitants of the north.
