The Maori land march
You will never win anything unless you're there to do something. - Whina Cooper.
The Maori wanted to stop there land being sold to Pakeha. Maori did not want their land to be sold so they held a hikoi from Te Hapua to parliament in Wellington. They took their partitions( formal request with signatures.)All the way to Wellington. Whina Cooper was the leader of the specific hikoi. We feel highly unimpressed and annoyed with the human race, that they won't fairly share the land with the Maori.
We had to write a persuasive paragraph using the structure reef. Our one was about the Maori land march.
Hi Charlie, good writing i know it is of the slide but the good thing is that you used punctuation.
ReplyDeleteHi Charlie,nice job but maybe put the English meaning for the Maori words.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it would be nice to translate key words to ensure people who don't read Maori understand the meaning.
DeleteCharlie, this is interesting. I like the way you included the quote from Whina Cooper as an introduction. I also like your explanation of the word partition, very helpful to the reader.
