Māori Dictionary. Murihiku Polyfest. Murihiku Polyfest. Hawaii History - the Tradition of the Hawaiian Lei. The lei custom was introduced to the Hawaiian Islands by early Polynesian voyagers, who took an incredible journey from Tahiti, navigating by the stars in sailing canoes.
With these early settlers, the lei tradition in Hawaii was born. Leis were constructed of flowers, leaves, shells, seeds, nuts, feathers, and even bone and teeth of various animals. In Hawaiian tradition, these garlands were worn by ancient Hawaiians to beautify themselves and distinguish themselves from others. The Maile lei was perhaps the most significant. Among other sacred uses, it was used to signify a peace agreement between opposing chiefs. A Custom of Aloha With the advent of tourism in the islands, the lei quickly became the symbol of Hawaii to millions of visitors worldwide.
During the "Boat Days" of the early 1900s, lei vendors lined the pier at Aloha Tower to welcome malihini (visitors) to the islands and kama'aina (locals) back home. 100 Māori words every New Zealander should know. 100 words in te reo Māori These words are grouped according to the following functions and associations: We have included individual sound files of spoken versions of all these words – just click on the word and it will be spoken!

Transcript The teachers and the principal went to Samoa.
I believe it was back in 2006. They went and visited some schools in Samoa and, you know, just that whole experience really opened their eyes to how, you know, how the children really - a culture can really make a difference to learning of our children back here in Owairaka School. So Diana took on the reins of having this vision of having her own fale Samoa here at the school and she approached our Samoan support group and we just went, ‘Oh yes!’

But in saying that, we try and offer them as much opportunity to see places outside of school, or we bring visitors in so we expose the students to as much as possible. As a music teacher, because of the line I take with my staff, I’m able to have the same with my own classroom.
