You Go Where?

When we went to the Southern Highlands in 1969 it was only nineteen years since there had been any real contact with the people living in this remote mountainous area. We went to live in a village where some had never seen white children before or even seen water coming out of a tap. During those years from first contact in 1950 until today these Stone Age people have had to cope with the knowledge of a world outside their own, an aeroplane age, a motor car age and now a technology age.

This story was first written in 1975, a year after we returned to New Zealand.With the help of a computer and scanner it has been revised and is now ready to share with you. It tells of a family living for five years amongst these people who became very special to us.

We have kept in touch and been back to see them again and again and again.There are many stories yet to be told as together we try to grapple with a world of hatred, unrest and injustice, and fill it with love and peace and laughter.
