We lived close to a marae (a New Zealand Maori meeting house) and on some parts of the land I grew up on there were pa (Maori hill forts used during the land wars between Maori and European settlers from 1845 to 1872). This gave me a greater appreciation of the culture of Maori people. My mother, Kaye, had taught us kids about the importance of our country’s history.
