Parihaka - Tim Finn and The Herbs

This song tells the story of the peaceful protest. Finn was given Dick Scott's 'Ask That Mountain' by his sister and was told to write a song about it. 'rise up, rise up, defend yourself' was a line that talks about how they were protesting peacefully and still the others retaliated violently. They were determined to set a better future that will be sustainable. The song is significant because it tells us not only the story of the men but the woman and children as well.

  3. Great blog Emily, I am very impressed with the amount of research you have done to complete this blog, One thing I would change is to put the explanation before the video so we get an explanation before we read it, Once again great blog!
