LI: To learn about New Zealand History.
For reading we discovered some New Zealand History, we chose one of the 36 cards and discovered more about New Zealand history. We chose Ahi Ka, this card is about Ngati Whatua Protesting to take something back there land. This took place at Bastion Point. Ngati Whatua was disempowered by the Pakeha people and the government, so they protested so they can take back Bastion Point and their land. The people of Ngati Whatua lost their homes and Marae, people lost there lives fighting to take back something that was theres.
I enjoyed this activity it was intresting because we had the chance to learn more about the New Zealand History and about Ngati Whatua and the history behind it.
