Summer Learning Journey Week 2 Day 4

Ki Ora Everyone for the next few weeks I will be posting blog posts continuously for something that is called the Summer Learning Journey. Today I am doing Week 2 Day 4. I will always put the links under this blurb so that you can go to the sites I had.

Links: Hōne Heke, Te Tiriti o Waitangi,whakataukī, Indigenous Peoples,5000 different cultures and speak 4000 different languages, Āpirana Ngata, Whina Cooper
Activity 1. Guiding PrinciplesHōne Heke was a rangatira (chief) of Ngapuhi iwi in Northland. He was a strong and fearless warrior, and also an intelligent leader who fought for Māori rights during the British colonization of Aotearoa, New Zealand. He was baptized as a Christian in 1835 and had much respect for the missionaries that came to New Zealand. Hōne Heke supported Te Tiriti o Waitangi - the Treaty of Waitangi - and was the first rangatira to sign it in 1840. However, he soon realized that under Te Tiriti o Waitangi, Māori rangatira was losing their authority (power). In protest, he cut down the flagpole that flew the British flag at Kororareka (Russell) four times. He must have been very frustrated and angry. Sometimes when we feel strongly (frustrated, angry, happy, excited, in awe…) we find it hard to put our feelings into words. Many cultures have sayings, proverbs or metaphors that can help people to explain their feelings or describe specific things. In Te Reo Māori, some people may use a whakataukī.

Activity 2.Celebrating Diversity

There are between 370 and 500 million Indigenous Peoples currently living in 90 countries around the world. Together, they represent over 5000 different cultures and speak 4000 different languages. That is pretty amazing ‘eh?! I wish that I could speak 4000 languages! Indigenous People is the term used to describe the people who were the first inhabitants of a land. In Aotearoa, Māori is Indigenous. Indigenous people have rich and vibrant cultures that make the world such a fascinating, varied and enriching place to live.

I chose Australian aboriginal people & Maya People

Facts about Australian aboriginal people

1. Aboriginal Australians are related to groups indigenous to Australia. 

2.here are 250 distinct language groups spread throughout Australia.

Bouns Activity.Wise Words

Sir Āpirana Ngata and Dame Whina Cooper were both influential leaders who fought for Māori rights. Āpirana Ngata was a lawyer and politician. He worked hard to give rights to Māori landowners, and he also spent a lot of his career encouraging Māori to preserve the culture - haka, poi, whakairo (carving), waiata (song), sport and the construction of more marae around Aotearoa, New Zealand. Whina Cooper was the first president of the Māori Women’s Welfare League, which worked on improving health, education, housing, and welfare for Māori women in New Zealand in the 1950s. She led the Māori land hikoi (march) from Northland to Wellington to protest against the loss of Māori land. She was nearly 80 years old at the time. Both of these individuals are examples of wise, inspiring leaders and role models.

My role model is my mum.
Because she is always doing her best to make us kids have the best we can.
One day she told me if you keep acting like your acting you won't make it through life and that's when I learned that I need to change the way i'm acting so thats what I did
