Today for my EOTC week tasks I decided to make my final task about Ngati Moki Marae. The task was to read an article about a lady named Cath Brown and answered questions about her and the marae. Here are the questions and answers I have answered..
1) Where did Cath Brown grow up? What roles did she hold?
A: Cath Brown grew up in Taumutu. Her roles were a member of the Marae Committee and Chair of Te Taumutu Rūnanga and Upoko.
2) What type of art did Cath make? How do you know she was successful at it?
A: Cath made weaved art with teams of people. She was successful because she was awarded the Sir Kingi Ihaka award in 2000 because of her leadership and contribution to Maori Art
3) Where is the marae located? What does the land around it look like?
A: Ngāti Moki Marae is located in Taumutu, on the quiet shores of Te Waihora at the southern end of kaitorete spit.
4) What does mahinga kai mean? What do you think they ate?
A: Mahinga kai means food source. I think that they ate eels, ducks and fish.
5) What is Ngāti Moki Marae built on?
A: I think that the marae is built on the coastlines of the beach, where it is able to hunt for food.
6) What is the Awhitu House?
A: It used to be the family house of Hori Kerei Taiaroa. It housed the many successive Chiefs. It was also used as a marae for taiaroa family gatherings. It later burned down tragically, leaving family treasures burned as well.
Great work using your own words, Trisha! These are very clear and correct answers to the reading about the Marae! Well done.
