Te pūpū Harakeke. By Sheridan Waitai - Cherrington.

1)Grandma wore that shell because it was the shell of Pūpū harakeke a special snail,only found in Muriwhenua.

2)Tupuna means ancestors & grandparents.

3)The neighboring attack the Pā because They wanted to steal the pa to have them selfs properly wanted it to be their slaves.

4)I think that Harakeke was important to maori because it was the snails & back then it probely was the only creature/Insect at that time?

5)I think other Legend stories show nature protecting people Because the people can then hide when they were fighting so no one on the other side would see them & they will then be protected.

6)The harakeke snail was important because they were made for string, medince, homes for people and animals 8) To weave Harakeke you split it into 1 cm size pieces and under lap one and over lap the other one.

The defending tribe kept them selfs protected by hiding in the harakeke and some went into their homes to hide.

kaitiaiki are the Guardians of snails and us. They protect us from enemies.

11)Kaitiaki’s importance are : The guardians of Ngati kuri.Which is a shell. 12)This is my kite.It’s name is Harakeke might.

This is a poem that I did from the story There' a boy under my bed.
