His path draws into the concrete urban streets where Wetako-medicine lurks, especially for his people. The labour of these travels brings him to the springs where healing passed-down traumas becomes possible by drawing water through vulnerability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854432030956,"sku":"9780889714168","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/ed9b50692ea38924d294883315b8ee10.jpg?v=1759270241"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/tawahum-bige.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
