===Your tribe has survived a devastating natural disaster. All adults and remnants of society have been obliterated from the face of the Earth. You and your peers must form a tribe and establish a community.===

**Today there are important decisions to be made.**

 * Leadership and Elections:**
 * With a sense of identity firmly in place within your community it is decided that some form of tribal council be formed. The future and ambitions of your people rests in the choices you will make.
 * ===**Every community must have leadership. It is time for your tribe to elect someone to lead your tribe to prosperity. There are many important issues to consider. Work through the questions and tasks given to determine how your system of leadership will be organised and led. Be prepared to explain your choices.**===

Once you have answered the questions above and have a fair understanding of leadership and elections you must work through the following process.

Your lands are rough and unkept but you see the potential that this place has for your tribe. Your village has everything you need to survive. You have worked hard and for the first time in weeks all your people rest and take stock of what they have achieved. You sit around the fire and and tell the story of how you all came to come to this place.


 * Post your story on your scroll.

Keeping your history alive is important, telling tales of your heroes, conquests, challenges and everyday way of life will pass your identity onto future generations. > We will be discussing what values and virtues are and as a tribe you will choose 3 that are most important to you.
 * Everyone in your tribe has been asked to create a design that symbolises their tribal areas. These symbols may be used in your cloak (kakahu).
 * Values, Principles, Virtues:**
 * By now your tribe will be developing a sense of identity. It is important that this be communicated well to others so they understand who you are.
 * Write a pepeha, that all tribe members can remember and believe in. This pepeha will most likely include the values you have chosen.
 * Design a flag that symbolises your tribe; an example A karearea represents courage while a kotuku represents peace.


 * Conflict:**
 * A team within your tribe must prepare its' defences against attack from others. This system must be realistic and only use technologies which you yourselves can build, be innovative. Research and record your strategies in detail as the future of your tribe relies on how well you can explain your defence.
