Writing

 We had to write about Parihaka and this is my what I wrote...

Parihaka

 In the mid 1860’s there was a Pa (village). It was a peaceful village. Was 10 kilometres away from Taranaki. The 2 leaders were Te-Whiti and Tohu. Tohu and Te-Whiti were arrested because of John Bryce.

John Bryce was losing money so he decided to take sections of their land. So in defense the Maori ploughed their land. Tohu and Te-Whiti told the men that were ploughing said its okay if you go to jail because you’d have to go to court and they would hear what they did

John Bryce was wanting some money and didn’t  find a way for making money. He could’ve got a real job but must’ve chose selling the land of Parihaka because he only knows how to sell land and steal land.  I think that John Bryce was very unhappy because he wanted britain to be the one and only high and mighty country.
