Made in Taiwan Sketch Board

Task -  Sketch board: Create a Sketch board showing the 5 stages of Nate and Oscars Journey. 
They go to a cafe and swab the DNA from their mouth. They send the DNA to Oxford University and waited for the results
They then set off to Mahia in the waka Taka Temu, where they visit Nathan’s Parents to open the results that they got back from Oxford.
They then travel to the Cook Islands which was the waka Taka Temu last destination before New Zealand.
Once in Samoa, they visit Oscar’s family village to see his mother and grandma to open his envelope and see the DNA results.
In Vanuatu, they visit an old grave land and see how most of the bodies have no heads. They also look at some old patterns which are called Lapita
In Taiwan, they meet Niwa, who shows them a museum where they learn more about their ancestors and that conclude the story.

Nathan & Oscar's Adventure

From what I have from watched I learnt that nathan and oscar backtracked their dna and decided to travel back to where their ancestors are said to come from. I learnt that samoan and maori people may have come from Taiwan and that the patterns from Vanuatu are called Lapita. Something I found interesting is that we actually came from somewhere in asia and that the name of the ancestors were called lapita. I would recommend this to other student if they want to learn more about this culture and where they came from.
