Letter to Editor: Saruja, Tim and TIare

Google Doc

Dear Editor of Maori Battalion.         23/08/1915                     

                                                                                                              

Today we would like to ask you some question about WW1.

I hope you know what we are going to say in this letter.

We red your story and it says that brown people are not allowed to fight in WW1. We thought because they are not good  at fighting or they won’t focus, so our  question is

Why wouldn’t you let the brown people fight in WW1?

Is there a reason why white people won’t let brown people take part in the war?

Why don’t you want all kinds of people participating in war?

We think it is not fair for native people like brown people to be digging out trenches while other soldiers fight for their country. We think all people should have the right to fight for their country.

Waikato people and the Taranaki people had the right to disagree of taking part in the war.

We think that because the government took away their land, so we think it is fair to disagree.

We feel like  brown people altogether that should’ve been involved in the war. We hope you agree with our opinions

                                      

                                      Your Sincerely,Saruja, Tim and Tiare

         




Today Tim, Tiare and I, did a letter to the editor. We have stated our opinions and we hopefully didn't do it in a negative way, we just felt like stating our opinions and why brown people had to dig our trenches instead of fighting for their country or our country. Brown people are also known as native people.
