Whakapapa Research Project series

This is part of a series of writings from eight whānau researchers on nine kaupapa. This kaupapa is about kai.

This paper describes the kai that Rachael and her whānau were fortunate to grow, gather, harvest, consume and share as tamariki growing up from 1959 to 1972 in Ngutuwera, south of Waverley, South Taranaki.
