LAND WARS

Once upon a time, long long ago there were two tribes.
One was a Maori tibe and the other was a Pakeha tribe.

There were so many issues going on between the two tribes in that time.
The war was all over our lovely New Zealand because both tribes wanted the land of New Zealand for themselves.

The tribes started fighting and the war began. The Maori and Pakeha tribes started physically and verbally fighting with each other. The two tribes became racist against one another and they started disrespecting the other race. The war went on for a whole year.

The war stopped in time because some of the members from the tribe spoke out and said "Lets stop fighting because everyone is getting killed and hurt. It is silly, can't you see?"

Then the next day they sat down and had a nice talk about their beautiful cultures and started sorting everything out because they realised they needed to learn about each others cultural identities.

Now they have learnt about the significance of land to the different tribes and about the history of both cultures. It was important for them to know and understand the differences between thier tribes, so they can try and understand each other before judging their actions.

The Maori and Pakeha tribe learnt to respect each other and learnt to share. The tribes resolved their problems and halved the land equally between them. The tribes learnt to value differnt cultures as it forms peoples identity.

The moral of the story is to learn how to share and to respect others
