I was born and bred at Taritariwhioi, Kaiwhaiki Pa on the lower reaches of the Whanganui River in a small, close-knit community of about 200 people. There were five in our family, four girls and one boy. My mother was Raina Kahukura, a warm, handsome woman who was steeped in the knowledge of our old people and their ways and was a great singer and performer. Mum was also a great orator and a keen compeEtor at the Hui Aranga. For many years she competed in the Senior Oratory and achieved a lot of success. My father was Te Kohiroa Tawaroa Tetana a hardworking man who spent hours in the garden, planEng, weeding and producing acres of kai, Maori potato, Maori corn, kamokamo, kumara and pumpkin. One of my earliest memories is of planEng rows and rows of corn alongside him. In 1965 at the age of 20, I joined the Congregaon of the Sisters of St Joseph of Nazareth. I had a strong Catholic upbringing and mum was a devout churchgoer. Our family recited the Rosary most nights and we aended Mass on Sundays. I received catechism lessons from Father Cook who came to Upokongaro School every Friday from St Mary’s parish. He would bring his tuning fork because he loved to hear us sing. His favourite hymn was Mo Maria.
