Question

The maori sometimes place important carvings in swamps to protect them during times of treat

Answer 1

False. in a swamp it would just get covered up, and how would it even protect them?

Answer 2

As Māori continued in geographic isolation, performing arts such as the haka developed from their Polynesian roots, as did carving and weaving.
So, (as in that being said) your answer is- True.

P.S- This is also true because I actually have a book about the Maori's traditions and arts. 
Also can you plz possibly mark me 'Brainliest'? 
Have a great day! (^v^)
