Ihumatao

We have been learning about Ihumatao and the land issue. We had to choose a side:  Maori or Settlers and write how it would of been at the time. Here is mine:

Get off this land it’s mine now! I screamed.

 I stood staring at them, I could feel my eyes squinting and my
cheeks blushing.

 You don’t deserve this land  I thought. 

I stared around slowly. Groups of people were having a
meeting, trying to make a plan. 

I could hear shouting and yelling.

I could smell the Maori’s blood.
