Thank you for your donations to the women's refuge

Rhiann from Hataitai

Many of you would have seen my most recent post about donating to the women's refuge. I thought I would be able to donate about 15 bags of goodies (shampoo, soap, skin care etc) and so far it looks like we have already got enough for about 50 bags! I am so extremely grateful to this community,… View moreMany of you would have seen my most recent post about donating to the women's refuge. I thought I would be able to donate about 15 bags of goodies (shampoo, soap, skin care etc) and so far it looks like we have already got enough for about 50 bags! I am so extremely grateful to this community, as many of you have already given such amazing donations. There are so many bad things happening in this world currently, so it is lovely to see how many people in this community are so generous. I will be donating them all end of November, so there is still time to donate, to help those who are not in the same position we are at Christmas.
If you are wondering what to donate, please refer to my other post.
Thank you,
Rhiann.

Anniversary of the invasion of Parihaka

On 5 November 1881, over 1500 colonial troops and their Māori allies invaded the village of Parihaka near the Taranaki coast. Many people were expelled, buildings destroyed, and rangatira Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kākahi were jailed.

Dr Rachel Buchanan in conversation with Hon Mahara Okeroa

Join Taranaki kaumātua and Treaty negotiator Hon Mahara Okeroa (Taranaki, Te Ātiawa) and Dr Rachel Buchanan (Taranaki, Te Ātiawa), author of BWB Text Ko Taranaki Te Maunga, at the National Library for the anniversary of te pāhuatanga, the invasion of Parihaka.

Mahara Okeroa grew up at Parihaka and his kuia, Te Ngoungou, was one of te hunga ririki children who met the invading police and soldiers in 1881.

Rachel and Mahara will discuss their own connection to Taranaki and the lasting impact of confiscation, sharing a kōrero on the apologies and settlements that have taken place since the invasion.

This event will be chaired by Dr Maria Bargh (Te Arawa and Ngati Awa), Head of School, Te Kawa a Māui, Victoria University.

Refreshments will be served after the event.

This event is part of the BWB Winter Series. BWB gratefully acknowledges the support of Creative New Zealand.
