The Waka

“Ka mate, ka mate” is bellowed loudly from the rowing warriors. Holding tightly onto the oars with water flying up and splashing down on to the boat. The warriors stick their tongue out and widen their eyes. Stamp their feet and slap their thighs.
The boat is as long as a  taniwha. The carvings on the front of the boat  represent ancestors. As we approach the enemy island we chant “tokihi,tokihi”. WAR IS ALMOST US!” “ CHARGE!” Go my crew
