DEADLANDS VIEWING & HISTORY OF MITIMITI

KIA PIKI TE ORA!!!!

7 november 2014 - HEI MANAAKI (WK 12) 

Today our roopu had a private viewing of the DEADLANDS. Although a very graphic and hard out movie we had a good discussion about it after the viewing back at Te Houtaewa Maori Trust.

Though we had a number of views about the movie but many felt that was "how it was in those days".  The type of "Utu" or revenge for any type of transgression of tapu often resulted in loss of life.

One of our Kuia - Whaea Winnie explained some of the history of Mitimiti with the rock which much blood was spilt 

Here is another korero regarding  Mitimiti from Waka Huia
