We are learning about Parihaka. Parihaka is a village near
Mt Taranaki. Parihaka was a really peaceful village
that believed in the Bible. One day when the pakeha wanted more land they thought why don't we send soldiers to destroy and kill them but they knew about it so they thought lets welcome them with kindness . so the chiefs said the children will dance and sing and the women will make the bread so when the soldiers came they saw the children dancing and singing. Then after that the soldiers went through the children and the women of Parihaka offered the soldiers some bread. The soldiers destroyed everything and took the people to jail. When the people got out of jail they went and rebuilt the village. The soldiers felt sorry.
