Maori Language moment

 

In 1972 30,000 signatures were delivered to safeguard the Maori language.

Safeguard means to protect the Maori language needed to be protected. Why? 

Three reasons why I think it needed to be protected.

1. The first reason is because the language could have been lost.

2. The second reason is because it is part of people's life.

3. My last but not least reason is because it is a prime language in New Zealand.

Kia Kaha te Reo Maori.

When making the Ngatu / Tapa cloths the women first peel the bark from the tree that is cut down. The second thing you do once you're done peeling the bark is that they take it and hang it outside for the sun to dry it. Then you soak the dry bark into water so it can get soft. The fourth thing you do is beat the wood with a tool called an ike so that it can be more thin and wider. Then you let it dry again.
