In social studies we learned all about Parihaka, what happened, the meaning and what music means now looking back on what happened.
We had to answer questions about this song by Tim Finn call Parihaka.
What is the main message of this song? To tell people about the significance of Parihaka and tell everyone that Te Whiti never gave up.
What line explains their passive resistance method? His children's children wearing the white plume
What does ´you cant pull out our roots´ refer to? Like we will always come from there and our roots will always be the same.
Give evidence of their determination? Like even after being in prison for up to 2 years they still went back peaceful.
How does this song show the significance of Parihaka? It mentions how Te whiti never stopped fighting and how he will never be defeated.
What makes a event significant? If a lot of people were harmed, or if a lot of people remember it.
How many people were affected? Around 1600
To what extent are people affected? I mean it affected people so much that they even apologised in 2017 when it happened in 1881.
