whare

1. (now historical) A rough shack or hut built (by Europeans) using traditional Maori techniques; a workman's shack.Examples: "Many New Zealanders will know that a whare is a house. But in this context, the whare were being built for a summer hunting and gathering expedition. It was the 1880s, so timber houses also featured, but here the whānau were travelling to tribal lands and building makeshift whare to camp in."New-Zealandhistorical
