This year my 89 year old mother and I have decided to write a oiriori about her childhood. Mum is the mokopuna of Hāmiora Mangakāhia rāua kō Meri Mangakāhia (née Te Tai daughter of Rei Te Tai) was born in Panguru and was raised in Whangapoua. My 13 year old granddaughter will help us with the lyrics.
