Big mihi to Aleisa and Matua Nick Roskruge who I met today when I dropped into the Tāhuri Whenua: National Māori Vegetable Growers Collective office here in Te Papaioea today to pick up a copy of 'The Kūmara Vine' by Aunty Arohanui Lawrence.
-
Making new connections is the best part of life and Aleisa threw in some kamokamo and hue kākano. Matua Nick gave me a Matakoura kūmara to sample as well. Awesome people!
-
And as always a mihi to my fellow swamp anarchist @helenmlehndorf who clued me in on this book via the 'Gram.
