Dances of Life

I really admire the culture of the Maori tribe and have come to respect the stories behind their dances and songs. One of my all time favorite movies is "Whale Rider" and the representation of their tribes strength and endurance. I know its not all fine and dandy. A movie can say one side of a story and there actually be another. The violence and depredation from colonization is still present today but for their traditions to still be taught today is a sign of tremendous dedication towards something that can be long standing seven generations from now. I like that and its defininately inspiring.
