Story of parihaka

 Opinion: My opinion about the parihaka stories is that the pakeha should not have stolen the Maori's land. they should of went to a place without anybody on it and taken that land to stop what they caused. If they did go to a different place we wouldn't be in New Zealand and instead, we would be in London or America.

Main Ideas: The idea of the parihaka story is that it is telling us to not do what happened in the past. If we do that New Zealand will have a lot of racism which isn't good. And if we had a war we wouldn't be a peaceful country

Questions: I want to know why the pakeha couldn't go to a different country? And why didn't the Maori just find a different spot to avoid all the drama? I wonder why the author made this story so short instead of a proper book?
