Hi there,
This week for Social Studies we are learning about Parihaka. I really enjoy working on this parihaka 5 November 1881 Parihaka was invaded on 5 November 1881. The following day of arrests and looting is known as Te Rā o te Pāhua – the day of plunder. Here is some questions i'm going to answer about this song.
What is the main message of this song?
They are not going give up, parihaka belong to them and they have the right to be there.
What line explains their passive resistance method?
I know Te Whiti will never be defeated,
And even at the darkest hour,
His presence will remain.
I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka.
What does ‘you can’t pull out the roots’ refer to?
You can't take my background, who my acestors were, they are who I am at the end of the day.
Give evidence of their determination?
"Never give in, look to the sky, the sprirt Te Whiti".
Don't make yourself suffer, Get out there and look to the sky where the sprirt Te Whiti is.
How does this song show the significance of Parihaka?
It's telling you about parihaka and people have suffer but never give in and always keep trying.
What makes an event Significant?
If it affects large numbers of people and is remembered for ages and still affects people centuries after.
How many people are affected?
All those that live in New Zealand and a lot of people throughout the world as Parihaka sparked other peaceful protests.
How long were people affected?
People will be affected for centuries.
To what extent are people affected?

Hello Keyana,
ReplyDeleteYour blogpost is very detailed and well structured. I really liked how you explained a bit about what your blog post is going to be. Additionally, the way you answered the question what does ‘you can’t pull out the roots’ refer to? Was really good; as some of us had quite a hard time answering the question. However, I tried to click the link to your map but nothing happened, it might work for others though. Anyway, your blogpost is really ethical and detailed. Keep up the good work!
