Milan's Hair Cutting Ceremony

Milan's Hair Cutting Ceremony

On Saturday I had my hair cutting ceremony. Niuean's do this for when they are older so then can become a warrior and protect themselves. 

Before I had my hair cut I had to wash it double times and my Mum brushed it, my hair was very long. I had to wear ribbons in my hair so when people cut a piece of my hair it was tied with the ribbon. When someone cut my hair they give my money and put it on my lap. I was given 1 enormous lolly lei.

We also had a Umu that was prepared by my Dad and other members of my family.

On Sunday I went to the barbers and they shaved my head. On Tuesday I was nervous about coming to school.... but I got use to it. My Mum brought in a hair cutting cake! I shared it with my class :)

I love my new hair and I like using the gel my Mum got for me.

We had to roll the ball on the ground. 

We had to hit the target with the ball. 

If we hit the target we say "SNAG". 

After we hit the target we had to put the balls in the basket.
