Parihaka

Hi everybody,

We are learning about Parihaka so we made white feather plumes. This is what happened in that area: one person called Te Whiti o Rongomai  made a village called Parihaka and he made a rule to never be violent. Then one day the government wanted the land and they didn’t fight back so Te Whiti went to jail but the tribe didn’t fight back. When the government came back they had marked their land so the government couldn’t take it. The government brought cannons but there were children not defences which demonstrated non-violence.

We made headbands with patterns and white feathers on the top and they meant peace. We made cool patterns that stand out.

Here is a photo of mine:
