Activity 2:Discovering Aotearoa


So my name is Arden and my cultures are: Māori, Samoan, New Zealand European/Pākehā... ( here's the odd one out ) 
Canadian. So there are my four cultures I am from. Plus the other funny thing is that Kupe is one of my ancestors! weird right?! So the other thing is that my family only knows how to speak English, my dad is even full Samoan but he doesn't even know how to speak it!
Image result for kupe ( but he does know a couple songs ). And on my mums side, we still speak English but that's were I get my Māori blood from, were I get my Kupe blood from... Ok so thats all I got to say about my culture and...
                                 BYE!

  2. Talofa Arden, I hope you’re having a fantastic day!

    Thank you for doing week one, day one, activity two. It was really cool to read where your family is from, that’s awesome how Kupe is one of your ancestors! I visited Samoa in 2012 with my mum and we had a really good time swimming and snorkelling in the clear blue water! Do you visit Samoa much? What is your favourite Samoan food? Mine is panikeke, yum!

    I'm really interested to know more about your family and cultural background - what is important or special to you and your family?

    I am Pākehā but my dad’s family comes from England and my Mum’s family comes from Scotland and Canada, which is pretty cool because it means I can go and live in all of these countries if I want to! My family is quite small and live in many different places, but I have a lot of friends and family friends who are like family to me. The most important thing about my family is that we are really open and honest and have great communication, my parents are also really loving towards me :)

    I only speak English but I would love to learn Te Reo Maori and Spanish.

    Thanks for posting! I look forward to reading more of your posts over the summer :)
    Eliza :)
