Kia ora William, this is Kieryn from the Summer Learning Journey.
ReplyDeleteYou have created an awesome blog post here about celebrating diversity and have included so many facts about all these indigenous communities!
You have got so much new information that I haven’t heard before in this post, so it was awesome to be able to learn new things. I never knew that the Ainu people were forbidden to speak their own language, or that the Maya people came up with the calendar system, so thank you for sharing this new information.
What is your favourite fact that you learnt from partaking in this activity?
You mentioned that the Maya people’s culture is being preserved through rituals and traditions. Do you know what kinds or rituals and tradition they have/do?
Keep up the excellent work!
