I participated in the first ever Ruapotaka cultural Maori festival on the 24th of Nov. We participated in the feastival because we were proud of our culture and wanted to show it. Our group name was Wairereo. We sang songs and also did a haka. I was absolutely proud to be a Maori that day. I was nervous at first to go on stage but I got around to it. All the lunchtime practices paid off.
