Whakapapa Threads

The threads that run through us, traced from lived experience.

Whakapapa Threads brings together Ruku I’Anson’s writing on how pain, displacement and healing travel through generations, and how they can be untangled. These are threads from lived experience, not theory from a distance.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Whakapapa of a Wound: intergenerational trauma traced through the story of Mere

• Whakapapa of Colonisation: how colonisation creeps in unseen and shows up as distress today

• Dimensional Autophagy: clearing what has settled in us so new growth can take hold

• Nine Witnesses

Written for anyone who has felt the weight of what came before them and wants to understand it, name it and begin to set it down.
