T3W4 Huriata - Dreams - Inquiry

T3W4 Huriata - Book Box - Reading



WALT: Identify a texts genre based on how we evaluate/ analyse our book. 
The text I read was 'The Great Ordinary' which I found really interesting. Edith is a local photographer (Is also her hobby) and she gets interviewed being asked questions like: "Why do you take pictures?" "What is special about this?" some feeling flattered when she took pictures of them. But it also has a look into the 'new' generation and how we may grow up to be/live/grow. She is a 'Documentary Photographer' - capturing the moment we have now before it all seems to vanish. I love the idea of that. She tells her opinions about how things may turn out in a couple years for cultural families in New Zealand.

Something I found difficult during this whole task was the 'Recount' I had to write. I've been staring at it for two days not knowing what to paste on it. So I thought, "My look in things..." And I figured I'd write something on my glasses. Many people find it surprising that I wear spectacles ( But I'm pretty sure it's because my frames always seem to pop out)

Huriata - Tōku Tuakiri - Poetry: Trees

Trees
By Huriata Paraone

I am Huriata
Black, my skin from the earth to the night duvet which Matariki sleeps in
I stand on breathing lands, and ride the largest stingray
I live afar my sleeping lands, the stingray guide me home
For my glazed over onyx gem that shows me what I am
I am Maori, I am Tongan

My whanau lived among many mountains and rivers, trees and sand
Caves wide like an owl's eyes, forest deeper than a king fishers fall
This clay and red wood, is my ancestors welcoming whare
The hair of tangaroa, my people swim in         

My ancestors
You planted a tree, a leaf so green, a bloom I see
And the harakeke you left us, we’ll weave wisdom and wit
For that in a next life, the after, the beyond, the where my eyes shall take me
I will be an ancestor to someone sane to meet heights, fall far but fly like a tui.
