Powhiri 15/06/2016
A Powhiri is when you are granted access to enter the marae, a Powhiri is a special thing, because if you weren’t in a Powhiri before entering a marae, you will not be allowed to into the marae.
On Tuesday 14th of June, St Pius X went to the marae in Ruapotaka, which is behind the Glen Innes Library. When we got there we had to do a Powhiri. A Powhiri is always performed by women, when we got to the marae, there was an old lady who did a powhiri with Ana-Lei.
We all stood in a row, but all the boys were at the back, and the girls were in the front. We had to be very quiet, the only people who could talk, was Ana-Lei, and the old lady. This felt very cool, because I got to be part of something, that i've never been apart of before.
Amazing Paul
ReplyDeleteI loved the way how you said at the end that it felt cool for you because you got to be apart of something that you haven't been apart of it before. Keep it up.
I enjoyed reading your fantastic writing about the Powhiri Paul. I really did enjoyed going to the Marae too! It's nice that we are a part of the Ruapotaka Marae isn't it Paul?
ReplyDeleteWell keep up the great work.
