Wise Words

For the last task of the fourth day of the second week of the SLJ I learnt Apirana Ngata and Dame Whina Cooper had some really wise words to say, for this task I had to choose one of my role models to say some wise words, I chose my mum and a wise phrase that she uses a lot is "Seek the treasure you value most dearly: if you bow our head let it be to a lofty mountain".

Celebrating Diversity

LI: to learn about other peoples cultures.
For the second task of the fourth day of the second week of the SLJ I had to find out facts about specific indigenous communities (Ainu people, Australian Aboriginal people, The Inuit people, Papuan People and the Maya People), I then had to pick two communities and find two facts for each, the communities that I picked were the Ainu people and the Maya people. One fact of the Ainu people is that they live in the northern island of Japan and another is that back then the Ainu people couldn't speak their own language and were forced to speak Japanese. A fact about the Maya people is that they speak over 30 Maya languages and another fact is that words like corn, mother, house, sun and time sound identical in nearly all the Maya languages.
