"WHITE"
The snow was as white as a winter partridgeman. Artic hares ran around the houses and eagles soared around the mountain. The houses looked like iced cakes in the sunlight and the ground as if a baker had sprinkled icing sugar all over it.
The snow covered mountain watched over the valley in the dying sun and thought of how much time he was going to stay in his pearly white cloak.
He peered into the sky and saw God uncurling his white beard.

"Food"
The Zebra fell victim to the mighty Lioness who gave the Zebra goosebumps as she chased him until he weakened in his legs. He heard the fierce predator charging from behind, he must have made a good meal!

Na Neihana


"Food"
As I see the deeathening blood drip down its face, I heard its Mother scream. The wind stopped then the grass stood still as the Cheetah took its prey.
I felt the coldness on the grass as I ran, ran and ran.

Na Tanisha

Tribute from Prince Tui Teka for the 28th Māori Battalion

Te Karere- Māori Battalion

Tuini Ngawai- Arohaina Mai

Tuini Ngawai (1910 - 1965) was an awesome writer of beautiful songs. This song, Arohaina mai, was written in 1940 and is considered by many to be the greatest Māori song ever written. It is the unofficial hymn of the Maori Battalion. It is said that on her way home from a service for the C Battalion, held on the Waiparapare Marae at Tokomaru Bay, she sat down on the roadside to rest and the words came into her mind. This video is to honour Tuini and Te Hoko whitu a Tu; which toured New Zealand during the Second World War, performing and collecting funds for the Maori Battalion overseas.
