Pakuranga the Early Years by Ngā Pātaka Kōrero - Auckland Libraries published on 2022-10-30T22:40:52Z In this series we hear voices drawn from an oral history collection of interviews with longtime residents on early settlement and the development of Pakuranga the township. Interviews were recorded between 2014 - 2016 by Auckland Libraries' Karen Lawson. Full interviews are available to listen on request from Auckland Libraries Heritage Collections via the link below. https://kura.aucklandlibraries.govt.nz/digital/collection/oralhistory/id/3579/rec/1 Visit Pakuranga Library in November 2022 to enjoy and participate in Pakuranga Stories - An exhibition of many parts. https://ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/events/2022/11/pakuranga-stories-an-exhibition-of-many-parts/ Step back 60 years and discover the stories of a new and remote suburb, and of the river that wraps around it. Follow the timeline of the rapid growth experienced as farmland was transformed into homes for many. Half a century later it is a richly diverse community with many new layers of story embedded. Tūrangawaewae is the name for the Kākahu/Contemporary Cloak that will be woven in the library during this time (November 5-30). This Kākahu symbolises our library as a place of belonging for our hapori/community, a place to feel empowered and connected. You are invited to come and share your voice, your stories, your memories while we create and complete Kākahu Tūrangawaewae together under the guidance of local weaver Paia Swanson’ Terepo. The weaving of the Kākahu will take place on Saturdays (5, 12, 19, 26) 10am-2pm, and Sundays (6, 13, 20, 27) 10am to 2pm. https://ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/events/2022/11/pakuranga-stories-an-exhibition-of-many-parts/ Contains tracks Ron Elsmore - The Grocery Store by Ngā Pātaka Kōrero - Auckland Libraries published on 2022-10-30T22:32:17Z Brenda Scott - Farm on Glenmore Road by Ngā Pātaka Kōrero - Auckland Libraries published on 2022-10-30T21:57:45Z Trevor and Ireen Warbrooke - Building a Home by Ngā Pātaka Kōrero - Auckland Libraries published on 2022-10-30T22:36:46Z Janice Grace - Isolation and Motherhood by Ngā Pātaka Kōrero - Auckland Libraries published on 2022-10-30T22:13:35Z Ray and Lindsey Vickers - Community and Entertainment by Ngā Pātaka Kōrero - Auckland Libraries published on 2022-10-30T22:28:10Z
