A special place in the community is our marae. Why? Because you are able to
make connections with your tupuna also, so you don’t forget who your loved ones
are. Marae’s are so important when there is a time that you celebrate your
birthdays and whanau reunion. It is so important in our community for having
tangihanga.

Whanau connections are from your Tupuna. That’s why we have a marae so you
don't forget your loved ones. Why are Marae’s so important? Alma RoadBecause
when we go to a Marae we see all of our whanau that  haven’t seen in a very
long time. When you go to a Marae you make connections with all your families
and cousins. We even make connections with Families that you don't know yet.
Our Whanau’s connections is from our Tupuna. 

Marae are important for having birthdays, reunions, tangihanga and much more.
What is so important about celebrations? Celebrations are the things that explain
your identity and culture. Celebrations bring your families back i together.
Celebrations include lollies, drinks, chips, music, games and fun. Do you like
celebrations? I love them.

The other reason why a marae is so important to our community is for tangihanga.
Tangihanga is a sad place to be. When your at a tangi, it is best for you to take off
your shoes at the door, do not eat or drink while the process is about to begin and
do not walk inside while the kaumatua is speaking.

In conclusion, a special place in the community is our marae. Why?, because it  is
important to make connections back with your whanau. It is also important for
having celebrations. Last but not least Tangihanga. Tangihanga is a sad place to
be. It is where you learn to be maori.
