Black Lives Matter

Black Lives Matter I choose this sign. The sign reads: Yes, all lives matter but we’re focused on the black ones right now, ok? Because it is apparent that our judicial system doesn't know that… plus if you can’t see why we’re exclaiming #BLM then you are part of the problem. The reason why is because yes all lives do matter! But we are focusing on having justice over the black lives because of how racism killed an innocent American African man known as Geroge Floyd. The sign is trying to tell us that we need to let the government know that all black lives matter and stop the racism. We need to let everyone know that not only white people can have a good life but also black people too.

He Mihimihi

He Mihimihi Tena Koutou e hoa mā ( Greetings to you ) Ko Delimakotu te maunga - Delimakotu is my mountain Ko Koroni te awa - Koroni is my river. Ko Waqa ni Viti   te Waka -  Waqa ni Viti is my boat. Ko Tui Moce   rangatira - Tui Moce is the captain Ko Vale ni tikina te marae - Vale ni tikina is my marae  Ko Nasau te iwi - Nasau is my tribe Ko Moce te hapu - Moce is my sub-tribe Ko Marieta taku ingoa - Marieta is my name Our task for Maori is to create our own Mihimihi. To be able to achieve excellence I have used the format given from Whea Ruiha and Whea Josie ( Our Maori Teachers ). I found this task very interesting because I got to learn some things of myself that I didn't know such as who is my tribe or sub-tribe. I have also recorded myself saying my mihimihi as I am confident to do so.

Keeping the Haka or not?

Image
The All Blacks are a rugby team that represents our country known as New Zealand. Before a game, it is important to showcase a HAKA. This Haka is traditional because it is a symbol of peace, it also symbolises honour to the guest and reveals the importance of the occasion. The HAKA is meant to symbolise a tribe's unity and pride. The All blacks should keep the HAKA since it is a hugely significant role to do before a game. Ka Mate” is a haka that has been the haka always performed by the All Blacks when they play against different teams. It is a ceremonial haka and it was written by Te Rauparaha. It is a celebration of life winning over death. Te Rauparaha created the haka after he escaped death at the hands of enemy tribes from Ngāti Maniapoto and Waikato by hiding in a dark food storage pit. When he came out of it, he was greeted by light and a friendly tribe chief.
