THOUGHTS ON THE WAY
I ended my story last month with my arrival at Puketeraki, the home of Tame Parata MHR. I stayed in his house and saw this people, their customs and their occupations. This place is known by the Pakeha as the ‘kaik’, a shortening of the ‘kaika’, in our dialect the ‘kainga’ [village]. Only the name identified it as a Maori village for in appearance it was a Pakeha village – there was not a single Maori whare, their practices were Pakeha practices and they lived as Pakeha live.
