Something to do with New Zealand, Culture, Tradition, Heritage and Hangi's.....

  Hiya bloggers! 

Over these past few days, our teachers have gotten us to do a task that includes Tā moko, Kākahu or Korowai and the Haka. I'm pretty sure that you all know what a Haka is and what it means, but there are a few of us out there who don' know what a Haka is. A Haka is a traditional Maori dance that is performed by woman and men. The haka can be challenging or it can be to celebrate a special occasion. The Haka was once used to prepare warrior on the battle field. Tā moko means tattoo. Maori people would use a special whale bone to carve the tattoo into the victims I mean persons skin. Kākahu or Korowai is a cloak. By cloak, I mean like those giant feather or animal skin cloak that the Maori tribe leaders would wear to look superior or fancy.  

Kay bloggers, hope that you learned something when you read this. Bai!!! 

Hello bloggers. 

This blog post is about Hangi or Hangi's. Did you know that whenever you cook a Hangi, you should put the meat on the bottom and have the vegetables on top and back in the "olden days"  you would have to dig a carefully measured hole and "shove" all of you're FOOD into the hole and cover the hole up with wet sacks at the sides and wait a few hours. A few hours later, the delicious food is READY!!! To be honest, I'm actually really surprised that dirt didn't go into the food. I think that should be almost everything. There is more info on my slide and Bai!!!

(BTW My friend Tayla Bug helped me!!)

BAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!
