Hunting moa other birds or seals.	Children adults work alongside each other and chiefs work with their people.	The first meal of the day was around mid-morning. As the sun began to set, workers returned to the village and food was prepared and eat together.	The rest of the evening was spent in game and conversations, sometimes there were prayer to setting the sun, once it was dark people generally went to sleep.
