Te Waka Ako had to dress up into white clothes to remember Parihaka. We had to make a head band and draw designs on to them and then we had to measure them to check our size. Then after that we had to put feathers on it we could only put 1,2 or 3 feathers and then we had to tape it on to our head band. Parihaka was about the maori land was taken in 1860,s from many maori tribes two leaders-Te whiti-o-rongomai and tohu kakahi set up a settlement for Maori who lost their land and homes. When the goverment wanted to take this land aswell they protested in a non-violent way They wore the white plume feather to reperesent peace.!
