NZ Identity- Treaty Of Waitangi





Compare and contrast map

Something I found interesting is that unlike New Zealand Australia didn't have a treaty with the aboriginal people.
Something that I'd like to learn more about is they way the Aboriginals lived before they were taken away.

Te Reo Term 4



This term we have been learning all about the Marae. We have learned that…….

  • The Marae is an important focal point for the community.
  • The Marae is a place where tradition and customs can be carried out.
  • The Marae is a place where people can express their values with dignity.
  • There are many kawa ( protocols) that prevail on the marae.
  • Marae kawa (protocols) can differ between maraes and iwi.
We have focussed on some key concepts when doing this learning.
These are listed and explained in the table below.
