Order details noted at the bottom of this post

Piata Mai Anō the new sequel to the beloved Piata Mai (2013) shares 29 heartfelt stories from Matakana Island kaumatua and kuia, all aged 80+. Their stories—told in their own words—capture a way of life shaped by whānau, whenua, hardship, humour, and deep cultural strength.

From wise reminders that “your health is your wealth” to the unfiltered joy of laughter shared, these reflections paint a vivid portrait of island life across generations. Each vignette preserves not just memories, but the wairua of those who lived them—stories of resilience, mischief, aroha, and the unique rhythms of growing up on Matakana.

This book is a taonga for descendants, a treasure for the wider community, and a rare window into an era fast disappearing. Whether you have a personal connection to the island or simply value the voices of our elders, this collection offers warmth, insight, and a strong sense of belonging.

Due to an overwhelmingly positive response - please email Awhina White directly via email at at waingakia.ruatoria@xtra.co.nz to purchase a copy (or copies) of this beautiful book

E mihi ana ki a koe, Manu, for welcoming us into your world and sharing your whānau journey — the different decisions you made around immunising your four pēpi. Every whānau walks their own path when it comes to immunisation, and your story reminds us how personal and unique these choices are.

Because measles is here, we encourage you to take a moment to watch the video, listen to Manu’s kōrero, and have a chat with your whānau or healthcare provider about what feels right for you.
