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.

Used for my dog.
These balls are great for playing fetch and at a decent price. I have a small dog (15 lbs) and she doesn't tear them up quickly. Unfortunately when we go to the dog park her much bigger friends steal them and destroy them. So buying them in bulk makes it easier to make sure we always have a ball to throw.

Balls
Color: Red
Bought them for the dog. They’re balls. She loves them. Red makes them easier to find because dog won’t return them. She seems to like the red balls better than the traditional yellow.

Favorite balls
Color: Multicolor, Size: 6 PACK
I never thought that my black lab mix could enjoy a ball more than the slightly larger silicon (sp) ones we have used for years. The sound has her ears up from the moment I pick one up. Please not, these are not indestructible. Throwing them away once they break open (for heavy chewers) is best.

Dog loves these
Color: Multicolor, Size: 6 PACK
Perfect balls for dogs who chew the squeaker out. These have the felt going over the plastic squeaker piece. Super bright colors and perfect size for medium and small dogs.
