Kai Orana from
Rarotonga
Today I learned new words
Mana - Tiaki
(Tiaki means keeper or guardian and mana translates as influence or power)
Today we went on Pa's Discovery Nature Walk
Pa is a medicine man that helps sick people and anyone that wants to know more
about nature's medicines.
Pa sat us down, told and showed us some special fruits of Rarotonga
Pa's classroom
Noni Fruit
Soursop Fruit
Noni Juice medicine
Pa's medicine bowl (kumete)
After the talk we went on a hike through the noni plantation, taro field and papaya fruit trees.
I also learned about the 1200 year old Chestnut trees.
(eaten as meat)
When we finished the hike we had Lunch, salad roll and fruit
(nothing tastes better than banana's fresh off the tree)
Pa told us about his life and showed us a book about him.
Pa called me his baby and I ask him if he could fix the scar on my lip and he spoke to the spirits for me.
He was a very nice man.
Mietaki Pa
Heart to Heart with Pa.

ReplyDeleteIt is so great Sonnie that you were able to write a blog post about your trip to Rarotonga. It looks like you had an amazing time. I loved how you explained what each photo was about. This helped me to understand your blog post better. Would you recommend other people went to visit Pa the medicine man?
