 Good morning TraveLING companions!  

Today we are off to New Zealand to visit the Maori, but first we must land in
Auckland. The Auckland Museum(http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/?t=80) houses the
largest and most valuable collection of Maori taonga (treasures) in the world.
The museum also has a Maori Cultural Performance that includes the
opportunity to meet, talk and take photos with the Maori.

The Hangi food or ‘kai’ was traditionally wrapped in leaves, but a modern
hangi is more likely to substitute with aluminium foil and wire baskets. This
traditional Maori cooking method involves burying the food is in the ground
for about three to four hours and waiting till everything is smoke infused and
tender!

Stay tuned for our next exciting day trip and see some pictures on our Pacific region page (http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2014/region2.php).

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
