Quest - Fonofale

Fonofale

1. The Fonofale is very similar to the Hauora walls that is in a base model of a house, Fonofale has a base that is Family, with 4 foundations mental, spiritual physical and others which can be a variety of things. Culture is the roof and surrounding it is time, environment and context.

      

    2. The fonofale has a roof and base with a foundation and outside barriers, almost like Hauora but very different.

    3. The Fonofale is similar to the 4 walls, instead of those it’s a base with 4 foundations a roof and outside barriers that are useful. Fonofale is what most P.I’s would rather believe in terms of family and culture.

     4. If I had to choose between Hauora or Fonofale, I would choose the Fonofale mostly because family is a very important thing to me and culture as well. Fonofale is also what P.I’s would choose mostly because of it’s origins and it’s importance to us.

Quest Makea

Oscar and Nate were determined to find out where Islanders/Polynesians and Maori’s originally came from. They took a DNA test to know which country’s to go to and to find out where and how the Polynesian people got to Aotearoa. The start of their journey began at Aotearoa at a Marae near Mahi where Polynesians arrived first.

In Rarotonga they visited the monumental garden where the chiefs of the Cook Island were before they went to Aotearoa. They went to the MAKEA church and saw all the artwork along the walls that were very similar to Maori art work, meanwhile Nate wanted to find out where the Chiefs left from before they arrived to Aotearoa. He found out that they left for Aotearoa on their canoes from Takitimu and Kurahaupo. The Cook islands and Aotearoa have very similar language and artwork.

Oscar went to Samoa because that is where he is from and where his dad was buried.

He went to visit his mum to see if she knew where Samoans came from, Oscar then got an envelope that showed his ancestors. It showed a generation that goes back 12,000 years ago.

Lapita people 1st settlers who came to Vanuatu. Pottery found in Vanuatu called Capita Pottery was over 3,000 years old was also found in Samoa and Tonga, Pottery had designs motifs on them but also found in Polynesian tattoos and on Tapa.

Scientist trace Polynesians from NZ to Taiwan. Polynesians and people from Taiwan have very similar features like their language, tattoo designs, carving and culture.
