Māori Theatre about the Nelson Tenths with pūrākau, taonga pūorowaiata, and poetry.

As a mokopuna of Taranaki, Donna McLeod carried her Nanny's kete to hui in the 70s, where the kaupapa was the Nelson Tenths. 

In 2023, her whānau live on papakāinga in Motueka. Donna refuses to let her mokopuna carry her kete. 

Intergenerational history. My history. Your history. Our history.
