[80896817]

i dont care either!!! you are a nobody!!! everyone knows PCC and no one knows you, you dont know crap!!! so just choke on a meat pie and back it up with a peanut slab and burp out with an L&P..........and i hope you get a big TIKI for christmas...hahahahahhahaah!!!­!!!! that if it can fit upnder your double neck!!!!!

[wahine27]

haha i was there 3 months ago one of the guys fell in the water it was hillarious they were on the togan boat .. when i saw the maori dancers come on the boat its CRAPPP it was so unrealistic and half the dancers didnt even look maori ... uhh the  tiki on there neck were super giant necklaces they were gonna break neckss neeeds more work on the maori waka..

[wahine27]

well thats not realistic ... maori dont wear super giant tiki around there neck. i know its all for the tourist. i even went onto the marae had a full conversation with a maori tour guide. heck i looked at some of the girls in the villege they arnt even maori. strange! i think if you portray to people a maori villege everyone acting as a maori is a insult. if you take our culture to the world! do it right

[80896817]

i attended a festival in NZ, i saw groups with big tikis. maybe your tribe doesnt, can you speak for the rest? i attended a festival and noticed 2 groups wearing big tikis. the women from queen vic...had it on also a school named trident. i had the chance to visit Ruatoki, in whaka tane, that was a shocker,to find some people not lookin like maoris that were speaking maori. some of the kids dont look maori,now days there are so many pakehas mixed. for the big tiki's i saw them in NZ. AMEN!!!!!!

[wahine27]

listine.. maori do not wear tiki the size of coconuts! we wear tiki but we dont wear GIANT tiki ! and yeah so what if you saw mixed maori. everyones mixed. but were maori. some are fair sume are black some are tannd and some are white. just like indians in india some are white and some are black. what does blood mx have to do with pcc. people of cultures come in all colours .

[80896817]

like i said i saw big tikis at the festival!!! what? do you know everything from all the festivals. queen vic and trident had them on. as for the mixed blood thing, exactly my point!!! you were the one saying the kids in the vpcc illage didnt look maori. so think twice you just repeated what i was saying. so you just caught yourself!!!!! i have been to pcc 4 times and i appreciate everything they are trying to do. go somewhere else if you dont like it, seems like nothing can satisfy you!

[wahine27]

and its not about satisfying me,. its about what i saw when i was there., and i was not happy with the maori side of things. ive been raised around kapa-haka and everything maori and when your raised this way you have a fine eye for these things, and i picked all the things out straight away. its good they try to show off our culture but they need to revisit home to get a fresh look at kapa haka.the singing was ok. the actual performing SHOCKING! even our young maori babies do a better job

[wahine27]

i dont care what u saw at ur festival.

my opinion is they need to brush up on the tahamaori side of things. take those outfits they were to whakareware or anywhere in AOtearoa with those plastic piupiu they wear is shameful. if they portray maori in that sort of light its an embarrasment,! mix maori kids always have maori features we are all mixed but we are maori. we dont know any other way we are raised maori and we speak our language. thats the differnce.ur maori or ur not!

[temari1097]

i live in Oahu so i can to there any time i like! = D i've only been there once though, but it was awesome! they have a night show every friday and u see all the cuturals like tahison or figian or new zeland and there are some really funny guys with HUGE grass skirts and the make a big fire pit and then they flap their skirt back and forth and then they jump and their butts land straigt on the fire!

[semeli691]

shoots!..i hate myself for not taking the time to come to this place...i like this dance but it's kyna short, u girls can really make those grass skirts swift...lol...

[mogocd]

[budgiebudgielover]
