Author: Jane McCabe Ed. Publisher: Otago University Press


In the early 20th century, 130 young Anglo-Indians were sent to New Zealand in an organised immigration scheme from Kalimpong, in the Darjeeling district of India. They were the mixed-race children of British tea planters and local women, and were placed as workers with New Zealand families from the Far North to Southland. Their settlement in New Zealand was the initiative of a Scottish Presbyterian missionary, the Rev Dr John Anderson Graham, who aimed to ‘rescue’ and provide a home and an education for children whose opportunities would have been limited in the country of their birth. Jane McCabe is the granddaughter of Lorna Peters, who arrived with a group from Kalimpong in 1921. Jane is one of many hundreds of descendants now spread throughout New Zealand. Most grew up with little or no knowledge of their parent’s Indian heritage. The story of interracial relationships, institutionalisation – and the sense of abandonment that often resulted – was rarely spoken of. But since the 1980s increasing numbers have been researching their hidden histories. In the process, extraordinary personal stories and many fabulous photographs have come to light. Jane McCabe here tells this compelling and little-known New Zealand story, in pictures.

The hungry mini schnauzer
Size: One Size, Color: Black
I bought this hat for my husband, twice. He loved the hat, and the dog did too. My dog Lola, ate the hat twice. With these cold, snowy New England days and nights, this hat was so warm, soft and felt great on his head, it was perfect until Lola decided if anyone would have it, it would be her! Is there any way you could possibly replace this hat??

Pure 100% Cashmere Beanie for Men - runs very small.
Size: One Size, Color: Black
A soft cashmere which is ribbed. However it is advertised as a Mens hat but size is very small for a man. Would be a better fit for a petite woman. Looks here like it has a turn up ribbing at bottom, but it does not.
