First THANKSGIVING on a MARAE in New Zealand — American Feast, River Swims & Football at the Marae

Описание: First THANKSGIVING on a MARAE in New Zealand — American Feast, River Swims & Football at the Marae

In this video, I’m experiencing my very first American Thanksgiving - but celebrated on a marae here in New Zealand. Bringing together American Thanksgiving traditions with Māori values of whānau (family), manaakitanga (hospitality), and togetherness was something I never expected, and honestly, it was pretty special.

As a Kiwi, it was unreal to see how American culture can blend so naturally with Māori culture - food, gratitude, stories, and family all coming together in one place.

Kia Ora from New Zealand! My channel is all about discovering and reacting to everything America—sports, music, culture, history, and the incredible stories that shape it.
