Parihaka ~ Tim Finn and The Herbs

Tim Finn and The Herbs



What is the main message of the song? ~ 

He says to the people that they need to stay strong and remember the pain and suffering that the British caused.

What line explains their passive resistance method? ~

I know Te Whiti will never be defeated,

And even at the darkest hour,
His presence will remain.
I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka.

What does "you can't pull out the roots" refer to? ~

It refers to that they were there first and they can't just take away what was theirs first and never give back our home land.

Give evidence of their determination? ~ They stood up for their land and they never backed down on what they truly cared about and wanted what they had back.
