Greetings,
everyone.
My people are Ngāti Pākehā.
My mountain is Taranaki.
My body was formed from minerals that washed down from his slopes. I am part
of the mountain, and the mountain is part of me.
My river is Waiwhakaiho.
Whenever I cross its waters, I know I am home.
I am of many canoes from overseas. My ancestors came from many lands.
The
Taranaki Cathedral of St. Mary is my marae.
This is where I was baptised and became a member of the Church.
This is my spiritual home.
My name is Darryl Ward.
This is who I am.
