Kuri
IALT:summarise A story I have just read.
This story is about kuris. They are the dogs that the polynesian voyagers came to Aotearoa with. They were bought over because they were to help the voyagers survive. Dogs were great hunters. Chiefs also kept them as pets. The kuri were small. Long haired, pointed ears and a strong jawline. Sometimes the kuri fur were used for cloak. After pakeha arrived in Aotearoa, the kuri started to disappear. The farmers were shooting them on sight, so they wouldn't kill their sheep. Eventually thakuri died out out and the domestic dog took over
This is story about kuris who came to Aotearoa over 2,000 years ago.
