Ki a Te Popi, and Journey to the Mountain

He aha te maunga e tu nei? He Taranaki pea.
Who is that mountain standing there? It is Taranaki

This work came from a journey I made to Parihaka in April 2005 for family research. Te Popi was the name my great great grandfather was known by. I wanted to start in this place because it is the beacon of early Taranaki passive resistance against the crown. The ghosts of its impact walk with my family still.
