WANGANUI NEWSPAPERS
Above two of the elders who participated in the wananga for the Wanganui district. At left is “Aunty Rua” Keremeneta, of Matahiwi. At right is Mr Taitoko Rangiwhakateka, of Jerusalem. For the hosts and old people too the wananga were an education. The harsh and confusing circumstances of life in the city were as foreign as the marae and its associated activities were for many youngsters. Relations were often strained at first, but it was not long before young and old people came to accept and respect each other. As one kaumatua from Ruatahuna put it, “the kids are all right; bring home their parents!”
