This is a picture of us being welcomed on to the Marae by the Tangata Whenua.
We all had to put our heads down to show respect for their Marae and Ancestors. We felt free and very welcome to be a part of there family after the welcome. We first had had to take our shoes off and take a spot in lines. For the waiata and the prayer. Mr Boyd was talking and thanking the Tangata Whenua for the welcome and the fabulous waiata. Then it was our turn to sing a waiata and we sung He Honore. Which we sung so beautifully. The man or the Tangata Whenua's name was Mr Kennedy. We were off to Te Puia and we thanked Mr Kennedy for the lovely morning.....I so want to go back for a night....
