Ngāti Kurī Proud by Tim Tipene

 WALT explore the various stories about why the iwi is named Ngāti Kuri

I learnt the five tribes of muriwhenua  they are Ngati  kuri Te Aupouri Ngaita  koto Te Rarawa 

I learnt want tutted means tutted is like rolling eyes and  making a noise in disagreement

Sacrifice means giving something up for some one else.
