Matthew Dean, 7th generation descendant of early settlers, shares his historical knowledge of our ancestors hikoi (travels) for shellfish from Pokeno to Kaiaua, some 8 hours walk in one direction. He also shares his knowledge of a Maaori village at the Avon Reserve, the site we are pursuing from Waikato District Council to build a Marae. A Trustee to the Queens Redoubt Trust, Matthew tells us about the Queens Redoubt, about another important Maaori village Te Paina, and a Flaxmill business. Whanau also share more stories about the waterfall, the tennis court, picking watercress, a community plum tree, and flooding.
