Mr Turi Te Kani discussing a point of general interest with the students on the summit of Mt Maunganui. Mr Te Kani outlined the local traditional histories which, when combined, make the Ngai-te-Rangi tribe what it is today.. interest, bolstered my confidence, and hopefully, given the chance, will lead me to a still greater interest in what is part of my heritage as a New Zealander. I hope to be a better teacher because of this visit. Ngati Hangarau — tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou. Jenny: Somehow, leaning against the poupou at 1 a.m. watching a film about Maori carvings had much more meaning and inspiration than the setting of Room 13 back at College. Yes, there are differences between Pakehas and Maoris in similar situations such as the Marae. The students and children merge together in a spirit of co-operation and goodwill which will be reflected in the classrooms of the future
