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. Parihaka 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 plowing and planting seeds. The song also says "His children's children wearing the white plume" means they are wearing the white albatross feather which represents Te Whiti. Te Whiti will never be defeated means hell always be remembered and talked about so he will never be defeated.
Hi Cody! I like how you've introduced your blog-post and explained the main message behind the song about Parihaka!
