This is based off a real event around Nainoa Thompson, in 2013 he led a crew on 2 large canoes in 2015 Nainoa and his crew had arrived at Aotearoa (New Zealand). They journeyed and visited the Manaiakalani Schools in Auckland. We are picturing ourselves to be on that crew, we had to think what kind of food we had to bring with us on the trip, and list the reasons why we would bring the food.

LI : To learn about respect, and how we should respect other people.
We had to learn how we can cope with people with differences and also make them feel good,  and help them. Such as being disabled, for an example let's say someone is unable to walk, we would help them by pushing their wheelchair if needed because a path might be steep. We talked about how we could help/please someone that has different taste in food, like unable to eat meat due to them being vegan.
