This waitangi trip was amazing for me because I made connections with my family. Whaea Emma told me about my maori side of the family like the wihongi’s. I have found out that Hone Heke a maori Chief of Ngapuhi Is my tupuna. He was in the musket wars. Thank you for helping me make connections with my whanau and my tupuna. I was very blessed for having Mr Gemmell for coming and asking his mentor about my whanau this was my highlight of my week in Waitangi
