AKL Heritage Festival 2023: Peaceful Puketāpapa

AKL Heritage Festival 2023: Peaceful Puketāpapa: the shaping of a landscape

Join us for local historian John P. Adam’s lecture on how peace, love, and protest have played out against Puketāpapa’s landscape.

His extensive research on Puketāpapa’s landscape uniquely positions him to discuss how it transformed from a productive wetland for Māori to a farming ‘idyll’ for settlers and a developed suburb for multicultural communities.

John will examine how ‘peace’ could sometimes be tenuous, with pressures and protests exerted on it from human and natural forces.
