Parihaka is village in Taranaki. The chiefs of parihaka were Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kākahi and they both liked Jesus and trusted in him. The people of Parihaka believed in the chief because the albatross feather fell on Tohu's marae and also they believed in the albatross because it was the bird of mana [spiritual power]. One day they were getting attacked by the soliders. The soliders were putting them in jail because they wanted to take over their land. Instead fighting with the soldiers, the women made bread for the soliders and the children danced on the road.
I enjoyed reading the story of Parihaka because it teachs us not to fight on but to stay calm and happy.
I found it hard to Polyline the feather of the albatross.
