Why You Should Go To Nga Hau E Wha National Marae


Hello Readers i'm back with an other blog post, today i'm talking about why you should you go to Nga Hau E Wha National Marae, so lets start!
The Nga Hau E Wha National Marae, I have been there before and I LOVED it, it was so fun, I wish I could live there, when I went there it was a whole school trip and we got welcomed in with a haka powhiri, a haka powhiri is when you get welcomed in by Maori its like a short haka or a performance, after that we went in the Marae and for a few minutes we watched a performance retelling one story by Maui, after that we split up boys and girls and the boys played kapa haka games, and the girls learned poi. Why should you go to Nga Hau E Wha National Marae? You should go there because it is a cool place and you can learn about the Maoris culture, learn new things that you didn't know about. When you go there you can also learn the poi (only for the ladies,) and you can play games (only for the men.) Its also a great place for tourists if they want to learn about Maori. You will be welcomed in with the haka powhiri and you will be surprised to see their performances and other things.

    Thank you for sharing your work about Nga Hau E Wha National Marae. I have never heard of this marae but it sounds like you had an excellent class trip there and learned some interesting things about Maori culture.

    Where is this marae located?
