ngati Kahungunu

Wow I look up to see the Kahurangi dance club walk in KIA ORA they all yell they then speak about themselves for a while.they start doing this amazing dance they were so fabulous there were so many interesting tribal legends being told and they were so enthusiastic about everything that they did.

Personally My favorite thing they did would have to be how they gave 2 boys and Mr Moriarty(A teacher at parkvale school) a chance to learn how to use the Mau Rakau they looked like they were having so much fun as I said before it was really interesting to see why they started acting,dancing and singing it’s just nice to see people are passionate about their culture and encouraging younger people to be passionate about their culture whether it’s a whole different culture to the Maori.




here is a taiaha and a mau rakau
