Whakarongotai Marae







Whakarongotai Marae

On Friday the Te Poutama syndicate went down to the marae.
we walked down through mahara place before getting greeted on to the marae.
after we were greeted onto the marae we went into the meeting house for a hongi .
next we were aloud to get a snack before we got into our rotations.  The rotations were sketching, haka session, pepeha and mihi mihi, history about the marae and the legends.
My favourite rotation was the haka i learnt the story behind it.
The legends were really fun as Aunty Queenie told it with loads of expression


It was my first time going to a marae and I found it really interesting





Marae history


The marae is the only marae on the kapiti coast and it is the focal                  
point for iwi activities.
