Why study History

For Hurmanu 1 we have been Learning stuff about history.Three main Historic events that happened in New Zealand are The Musket wars, Matariki and Te Titri o Waitagi. I don't know anything about my history and who would have fought in the war if they did. Here are three more recent events that happened in New Zealand....... Corona Virus, Mosque Attack and White island volcano eruption. We are listening to chapters from Gavin bishop's book 'Piano Rock'. He says he values his heritage because.."Mum's dad was Tainui, from waikato. It's enormously important and it's been a source of inspiration and ideas, thinking about what life must have been like for my grandfather and his siblings"
