MY P.E VIDEO – Made with Clipchamp_1732347708770.mp4

.In socal studies we have been doing the topic managing the environment.here we understood about resources, renewable and non renewable. Vital resource is water and we decided to focus on the documentary within ngapuhi called restoring lake ormapere,following is what i captured from the documentary.After the treaty of Waitangi Maori had 66 million acres and now they have less than 4 million acres. Geologists believed lava was formed blocking the Waitangi river. Lake Omapere is the largest lake in northland. The English word for Omarpere is a Place of cutty grass. The water also used to be safe to drink but not anymore. In the video was a huge eel that was at least 8 foot 200 pounds. Maori once owned 66 million acres of land but 34 million confiscated from pakeha. They killed seals in the sea and let them wash up on shore and the community did not like that.Utukuru 2500 people resided v 80 people < mass harvest of wood > Kauri Totara KahiKatea > access close to water edge > soil detonating through burning > farming industry.When the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840 the Maori people had traditional ownership of 66 million acres of land. 10 years later the British Crown owned 37 million of those acres. Today less than 4 million acres remain in Maori land. O = kai ma = for pere= belly of the taniwha.The side of the taniwha that has the scales on it is not sacred. The other side – the half that has no scales on it this is the sacred side of the taniwha. This is the reason it is named lake Omapere. Back in the 1900s there used to be Maori villages all on the western shore..100s of maori digging 1400 acre of gum field then used to be called the omapere maori block.The eels were rolling down the river then they diverted the eels in the banks they let some of the eels carry on down the river. They did it all night long till they stopped running. They would clean the eels, pawhara them, smoke them and more.than they used to go on their horses then take the eels to people who needed them.When they went to spe.ar the eels there were some places that they were quite afraid of. If you trampled on the end of the swampy area the other  end would rise up. By then the eels would be gone. The spears were very long and the would disappear into the depth  of the swamp. The man was very scared of the taniwha because he knew it was locked beneath the murky water.Make your summary comprehensive, coherent, and conciseWhat are the main points?Something I found interesting from this documentary was that they used to have speed boat races on Lake omapere.For example they use to have these in 1970.This would have been a positive event for the lake and would of have brought lots of people to the lake to watch the event and spend money in the area to lift the economy.Something that concerned me from the documentary was the lake went from a nice place where people went and frequently used it for daily life to now no one goes there and now its polluted and toxic. It became polluted from the farming industries such as the fertilizers in the grass and the cow kaka.If i was living in the area at the time while lake omapere was thriving i would have made sure that they didn’t cut the native trees around the lake down and not let farmers farm around the lake to avoid the pollution. Also I would have ensured the local people did not decompose the tupapaku on the water’s edge to avoid polluting the water. I  also would have monitored that the eels were still thriving so they could keep  the water way clean instead of taking them and then they would have avoided tipping the cart fishinto the lake. If it was thriving the boat races could still be going and waka ama events and iron man events could still be able to go there. Witch would also bring lots of people and money into the area and might have created  a little town to help service the events.

Yesterday there was a power cut around the whole of Northland and we were at school.  School ended early because of the power cut and the power was out for about 3 hours.  For me nothing bad happened.  It was just  out for about 3 hours.  t was boring for a little bit because there was nothing to do while the power was out.

I went to Robbys to give him their skins they got from trapping. Then Robby went into town to sell the skins and get them the stuff they need. Uncle Hec and Ricky made $2674 from there skins. Then they left Robby’s house and they started walking to another hut and there where people there and they saw uncle Hec and Ricky and started running away.
