As part of literacy today we learnt about Parihaka. The narrative was told from a granddaughters thinking about the life of her grandmothers living in the Pa. The people of Parihaka started a passive protest against the government selling Maori land to pakeha settlers in 1879. I personally think that we should celebrate Parihaka on November 5th instead of Guy Fawkes. Guy Fawkes has nothing to do with us as New Zealanders. Parihaka is apart of our New Zealander Maori history and everyone should know about what happened.
