Violence isn't a solution for peace. Never was, never will be". <br /><br />The person who brought the speech to my attention wrote "Here is a thoughtful, quite brilliant, speech by the Chief of Staff of the Netherlands Army". <br /><br />It concerns me that there has been no real debate.

It concerns me that countries who previously took a stand only as peace keepers are now involved in what may be seen as acts of aggression in the current war zones of Afghanistan and Libya, to name only two. <br /><br />I believe very firmly in educating for a culture of peace, and that is exactly what the Moriori people have done. <br /><br />You may take a small amount of satisfaction from the fact that when I was at primary school in the 1960s in rural Hawkes Bay we were taught about the pacifist peoples from whom you are descended. Sadly I doubt that it is in the current school curriculum, but perhaps we can get it back in there somehow.<br /><br />Please email me at legato.exhibitions@gmail.com so we can discuss how we can take this conversation and peace movement further.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08237406486736942911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-305773119423571989.post-71978583141795849552011-04-09T17:00:51.987-07:002011-04-09T17:00:51.987-07:00Tena ko, I applaud this article as historically ac...Tena ko, I applaud this article as historically accurate. However, the author and indeed all NZers need to know that 500 years before Te Whiti o Rongomai, the Moriori people of Rekohu (Chatham Islands) had observed an ancient peace covenant that remains unbroken by Moriori to this day. Te Whiti would have been aware of the Moriori pacifist doctrine as it was his kinsmen (from Te Atiawa) who had invaded Rekohu and killed/enslaved Moriori in 1835. Moreover, Moriori had been taken to Taranaki as slaves in the 1840s and 1850s. Moriori also wore albatross feathers in their hair as a symbol of peace and bales of albatross feathers were sent from Rekohu to Parihaka in the 1860s - too many coincidences for there not to be a direct connection between Te Whiti's pacifist doctrine and that practiced by Moriori for many centuries. It would be nice for folk to acknowledge not just Te Whiti and Tohu as NZ leaders in Pacifism, but acknowledge that they in turn were most likely influenced by the ancient Moriori peace philosophy and practice.

Th...Changing hats... a review of Burning Mountain.<br /><br />The Next Children’s Classic<br /><br />It is not often that a novel written for young readers grips and holds the adult reader from start<br />to finish. L J Adlington’s Burning Mountain is one that does. Spanning countries, generations<br />and wars past and present, this deceptively simple story is destined to become a classic novel for<br />teenagers.<br /><br />Moving between modern England and wartime Italy, the unfolding wartime drama and modern<br />mystery can be read on many levels. The seamless intertwining of past and present, the subtle mix<br />of fact and fantasy and the complexity of the levels of message within the story make this novel not<br />only an ideal text for classroom study, but also a powerful and contemporary contribution towards<br />international understanding and peace.<br /><br />Accidentally locked out in the rain, Denise and Craig seek refuge next door. An uneasy<br />friendship is formed with their elderly neighbours who share an intriguing story with them.<br />The repeated request is not clear. What did the crazy old lady next door want Denise to do?<br /><br />The life and death issues that the children face as the tale unfolds provide ample opportunity<br />for classroom discussion. The mystery from the past draws out lessons from WWII and ties<br />them firmly to the present realities of the children’s life as they think of their brother fighting in<br />Afghanistan.<br /><br />Wartime social, ethical and political issues emerge as the young Vittoria and Erich face their<br />challenges, differences, hopes and fears. When survival, rather than victory, becomes the aim, lines<br />between friend and foe are blurred.<br /><br />While the younger reader is given more obvious clues to follow and switches in time are marked<br />by changing typefaces, the more sophisticated reader is given subtle hints and a sprinkling of Latin,<br />German and Italian phrases to challenge without disrupting the story. A complex multi-levelled<br />approach to solving the mystery can be found on every page, sometimes to be recognised only on a<br />second look as the storyline pulls the reader in eager anticipation quickly through the pages.<br /><br />Modern social problems don’t escape the attention of this talented writer as she exposes the realities<br />of suburban life. Overriding all of this though is the message that war is not something that happens<br />to other people in far away places. The reader is reminded that while the Battle of Cassino veterans<br />who once were enemies meet in friendship, peace and reconciliation remains only a distant dream in<br />many parts of the world today.<br /><br />Proving that truth can be stranger than fiction, this well researched novel teaches as much as it<br />enthrals. From an erupting volcano to a scruffy ragamuffin dog, each element has its place. Fast<br />moving, colourful, with just enough hint of romance and empathy to soften the brutality of war,<br />Burning Mountain leaves the reader challenged yet satisfied.<br /><br />J K Scott MFA (Hons) P G Dip SNRT (Dist), BA, TTC.<br />Education Consultant, co-author of Listening and Speaking, English in the New Zealand<br />Curriculum and former teacher of English and Media Studies in New Zealand secondary schools.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08237406486736942911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-305773119423571989.post-67339724924093528552010-07-08T02:41:44.126-07:002010-07-08T02:41:44.126-07:00Very much looking forward to seeing the exhibition...Very much looking forward to seeing the exhibition!
