SURVIVOR story: Hoki mai ki a au

Part 1: The words of my father WhakaWhānaungatanga, see through my eyes

Part 2: The words of my mother You have to find it within yourself

Part 3: Losing my mother and father Hoki mai ki a au

Part 4: WhakapapaHe uri au no Ngāti Porou ki te taha o tōku Pāpā, ko Te Whānau ā Ruataupare te hapū rāua ko Ngāti Tūwharetoa ki te taha o tōku Māmā, ko Ngāti Tūrumakina te hapū. No Waikato e noho ana me tōku whānau. He mokopuna au nā Hēni-Paku no Tokomaru Bay. Ko Hēni-Paku tōku ingoa. We are not a single story to be hidden in the dark, searching, “Kei whea koe e māmā, kei whea koe  e  pāpā,” looking  for  pieces  of  ourselves  scattered  among  the  debris  of  others  before  us.
