My Ancestarl Poem


I’m a Female Warrior brave and all,
I am Samoan and Maori and that is all
I’m proud to be from the BEAUTIFUL Island of Samoa.
I’m proud to call myself  a MAORI because it’s part of me.
and also my tribes are  Ngapuhi, Ngati awa, Ngati tuwharetoa.
As our Ancestors walk upon the island they call New Zealand
As the green trees stand out from far away
As the sand oozing between their toes
As they're walking
As they could hear the water and the rocks crash together.
The birds singing and as the calm wind blew as they were the first ones to walk New Zealand.
And as time went past they learnt about the animals that lived there from the animals that are still here today from the animals that went extinct.

If it wasn’t for the leadership that the Samoan people and the Maori people have I wouldn’t have the courage that I have today and the strength they have to fight for what’s right and the things we need to stand up for.  

Maybe they're not or maybe they are it’s not really up to us who likes us and who doesn’t and there is alway people that come and go but there are people who stay there with you.
