Activity 1: Exploring Your Roots
For this task we had to create our own pepeha. We got a template and a site to use for this activity. I enjoyed this task and it was definitely easy, in future I hope we get to do more challenging tasks.
Here is my pepeha, I differen't really know what else to add to it. Because it's a really basic thing, and I'm proud to know mine. This task was exceptionally easy because, the teachers at school encourage us to learn things like our mihi and pepeha.
This activity was inspired by a famous New Zealand Director. His name is Taika Waititi. Not only is he an actor but he is also a Filmmaker, Director, Actor and Comedian. He has create/directed many popular films like, "Hunt for the Wilderpeople and "Jojo Rabbit". As a child Taika Waititi lived in Raukokore. When he graduated from high school Taika Waititi moved to Wellington and studied drama at Victoria University.
Even though he moved away he didn't forget his roots. No matter what he didn't forget where he came from and who his family is. Taika Waititi come from a family for of different Diversities culturally. His dad is Māori (Te Whānau-a-Apanui) and his mother is Russian-Jewish.
Today was fun, I'm looking forward to doing more the activities for the days ahead, but I do hope the these tasks get more challenging.
