*Jessica* Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Does anyone have any resource suggestions for this chapter? I've found awesome online links for every other chapter, but I'm coming up empty-handed on this one. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen+4dc Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 We haven't read it yet but I found "Aboriginal Tales of Australia" by A.W. Reed at a thrift store a few months ago and picked it up. It's a collection of Aboriginal folklore and we'll probably read a few stories next week along with chapter 10. ISBN 1-87633-418-5 HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Are you talking about us? http://www.homeschoolingdownunder.com/booklists/living_books.html There are links to lists at the bottom of the page. If you are looking for aboriginal tales, go out of your way for books by Percy Trezise and Dick Roughsey. Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate in Arabia Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 We also enjoyed watching the Whale Rider, although it is a contemporary setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda in FL Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 We also enjoyed watching the Whale Rider, although it is a contemporary setting. This was a good movie, but I wouldn't suggest it for the OP because of the ages of her children. (There is some drug use and alcohol use and crude language).

Guest cjanderin Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Hi! I'm from New Zealand :001_smile: Here are a few ideas: NZ Maori warriors used to perform a war dance called a haka. If you look up "haka" on youtube you'll see some great clips of it - pretty neat for the kids to watch. The ones that show up the most often will be by our national sports team performing it before a game of rugby (a little similar to American football but without the padding lol). For some Maori singing, pictures and a great video of NZ scenery then try this one: For food you could eat some kumara (sweet potato) and talk about what meat they would have eaten ... there are no native mammals in NZ except for bats. No chickens or turkeys either. But look up the "moa" and the "kiwi" and the "kereru". And fish and seafish. For the Maori that lived near Rotorua (near the middle of the North Island) they cooked their food in bubbling mud pools (you can find clips of that on youtube too). Maori myths and legends : http://history-nz.org/maori9.html And here are some clips of schoolkids who have made movies of Maori myths and legends: Hope that helps a little :) Erin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I LOVE watching the Haka. I don't watch any sport, but whenever there is a NZ teem of anything that comes to Australia, they always do the Haka before the game. I watch that, then turn the TV off.
