Whaea Mary stems from a small settlement called Waitaruke where she was born and raised. Whaea Mary recalls a time when Tuberculosis caused distress to her whānau when her two uncles became infected.
She explains what it meant for their whānau and the extent of the care plan that was established to keep everyone safe.
"Living off the land, helped to sustain us."
