Summary: A unique insight into childhood stories from early this century through to recent times; from the country and, increasingly from the city; from those whoc had a totally Maori identity to those brought up in an almost completely Pakeha environment. In their own worlds, the contributers express feelings ranging from happiness to, in come cases, torment, of being Maori in a predominantly European environment.
