Workers digging a ditch was a common task for relief workers at the time, as there was a limited amount of work. However, any sort of labour was offered despite meaning it would accomplish a little, as long as money was earned. Men in particular faced tough situations in the camps far from their homes and families. This also created issues for women finding work suitable for them as it was limited and found themselves picking up housework for wealthier families just to get by. - Tuelika Lao

Ever since 1867, Māori customs and language were banned from being taught in order to assimilate to European ideals under the Native Schools Act. In this newspaper article, it highlights the positive changes that were undertaken in native schools to provide a better education for Māori. This included the distribution of medicine as well as scholarships to Māori pupils in native schools. However, the article contends that Māori in public schools were not being given the same advantages and instead, had to pay for all their expenses. The article rather encourages the rise in standards of Māori education and shares how the Maniapoto Māori Association are working toward reorganising Māori education to revolve around the needs of the Māori. – Naya Todd ]]> 2020-05-18 02:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/f_kelly1/nlc9vdn3rk2i/wish/578772923 SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF alu452 https://padlet.com/f_kelly1/nlc9vdn3rk2i/wish/578894865 In 1930 there was an interest in establishing special classes for the "totally deaf and dumb children in Auckland."
