The Mana Show Review
On Friday the 10th of May. We had a guy called Bernard Mangakahia come to our school
to perform a show called Mana. It was about the history of cultures like Maori, Hawaiian and
American Indian Bernard has been doing this show for over 20 years. Bernard travels all around
the world showing kids like us his show.

Bernard has three sons. They all grew up in Australia. One of them loves to dance and is now in
New York dancing. His son that loved dancing came home from school one day and decided that
he wanted to make some money so they Bernard and his son went down to the street across
the road from where they lived and started dancing and once he had finished he had earned
$100. His son decided to dance on the street every Friday and Saturday for five years.

Bernard showed us lots of different cultures. Bernard showed us a haka he learnt when he
was a kid because his dad was in the New Zealand air force but all he was saying was humpty
dumpty. He also told us that when he was growing up he would watch his mum use the poi.
When he had showed us the haka he called up 10 volunteers to use the poi. He also showed
us a dance with hula hoops about the American Indian culture. He made a Eagle, flower,
cactus, snake and butterfly.

At the end of the show he told us that his sons told him that he should do a hip hop dance.
So he put on a pair of baggy track pants, a funky hat, a hawaiian top and a pair of basketball
shoes. I really enjoyed the show and thought that it taught us a lot about different cultures.
