Parihaka

Over the past few weeks we have been learning about the story of Pariaka. Which was about how the British soldiers took over Parihaka and arrested the leader because they were on there land. For this blog post we had to answer some questions from a song called Parihaka. Heres the link to the song > (Song Link). The main message of this song is about Parihaka and Te Whiti. In the song "you can't pull out your roots" means you can't stop them from planting seeds. The song also says "His children's children wearing the white plume"  which means they are wearing the white feather that represents Te Whiti. Te Whiti will never be defeated which means he'll always be remembered and talked about.
