I thought less of the second two Japanese movies, so let’s move right along. Let me write on the subject of Mihi Edwards instead. I’m reading her autobiography: Mihipeka: early years.

Mihipeka is a Maori woman born about 10 years before my father. The book covers the period when the Maori were forced to lose their language. The interesting thing for me is the Maori used throughout the book—more than just a smattering. In fact, I’m thinking of extracting and tabulating the vocabulary.

As a bonus, I believe that I can use it for my literacy & numeracy course.
