Thanks for your positive review of my bo...Hi Diane,<br />Thanks for your positive review of my book. You've said that I didn't visit any Maori farms, but in fact four of the places I visited had Maori people living there.<br />I wwoofed near Kawakawa in Northland for Te Roopu Whakatupuranga o Waiomio, a hapu-based trust – see page 85-87 in the Communities chapter. (A hapu is a sub-tribe group.)<br />Also I stayed with a Maori-Pakeha family on the East Coast – see chapter 7 "East Coast". And I stayed with two other Maori woman (separately) who I didn't identify as Maori as I only mentioned them briefly in the book.<br />Also I'm not sure where you got the impression that there were so many German hosts – only three of the households I wwoofed at (out of 40) had Germans living there, although there were a few German wwoofers too of course.<br />Cheers, Philippa JamiesonPhilippa Jamiesonhttp://www.philippajamieson.co.nznoreply@blogger.com
