The Parihaka Album: Lest We Forget

A photo album doesn’t tell the whole story of a family and this book doesn’t tell the whole story of Parihaka. Rather, it is a collection of snapshots, a patchwork quilt, a scrapbook, a mongrel record of my own efforts to understand one of the most important and disturbing events in New Zealand history – the 1881 invasion of Parihaka – and its powerful, complicated legacy.
The Parihaka Album: Lest We Forget blends the personal and the historical. It tracks the author’s discovery of her family’s links with Parihaka and her Māori and Pākehā ancestors’ roles in the early days of the city that is now Wellington.
