Why a marae is special to the community

A marae is significant and special to the community and every community around New Zealand. It's the heart of the people. 

 A marae is where families gather and spend time with each other. The main reason
people visit a marae relates to tangihanga. All marae allows people to learn about their
whakapapa and tupuna. 

In a marae, families cluster and get into conversations with other families.
Some families play sports and games with each other like monopoly, twister and more. 
Others go to the marae to celebrate 21st birthdays, weddings, reunions, anniversaries
and such. As a result, you build a relationship with whanau and you discover a place
where you feel welcome, like you belong.

The most significant thing in a Marae is tangihanga. Tangihanga is a traditional
funeral for maori people when someone has passed away. When the person gets buried
people do a haka when the coffin comes out of the marae so the person that has passed,
remembers his home place and what his Marae is about. When the person gets to the u
rupa/cemetery they do another haka so the person can remember his loved ones.
To sum it up tangihanga is the most important thing to a marae because its about your
loved ones that have passed.

When you enter a marae you see photos and those photos are people that have passed
and that have been in war. A marae is about your tupuna and whakapapa the people
that belong to the marae and the people that have made the land. When your in front
of a marae if you look at the carvings those represent your tupuna and whakapapa.
So in development learning about your whakapapa and tupuna is important to your
culture.

So in conclusion a marae is special to our community because it’s a place where our Maori culture is alive.  It's where families gather and spend time with everyone. It's a place to say goodbye to a loved one.  Lastly, it’s where you can learn about your whakapapa and tupuna and know that you will always belong.

“Get Up sleepyhead, we’re going now!” shouted Nan. Rolling over,
I stretch out and yawn.”Yeah, yeah, alright.” I got changed and went into
the car. We zoomed off to Kerikeri airport. When we got there we went to
check in our bags. I was playing with my hands tired and stressed until it was
take off time. I started going to sleep but my Nan shouted in my ear and said
“No you ain’t going to sleep yet”. I moaned and groaned putting my earphones
on so I couldn't hear a thing.

I sat on the chair hoping for some sleep but we just got to the Auckland
airport. We got our bags and checked in. I was so tired I could sleep on the
floor. We got on the plane because we didn’t have enough time to sit.
“Take your earphones out of your head, I want you to hear me shout at you
so you wake up” yelled nan. We got on the plane and we sat down. I wanted
to sleep but I can't.

I started watching some movies on the tv in the plane and I was watching Toy
Story 4 but I still wanted to sleep very badly. I felt like I could sleep for 1 day
until she said. “You can finally sleep but only until we get to the airport”. I was
so excited My nan thought i was gonna bring the plane down.
I had a sleep for 1 hour and then”get up we’re at the airport!” she yelled.
I woke up and  I shook and wobbled with fear. I stretched and yawned.
I took my seatbelt off and i couldn’t wait till we got to the hotel because
I wanted to sleep. THE END
