Their upbringing was marked by strict parental guidance, instilling in them values of good manners and respect for their elders. Mitarina attributes much of the sisters' close-knit bond to the nurturing nature of their mother, Lania, whose influence fostered an environment of warmth and support. This shared foundation not only shaped their individual characters but also strengthened their collective identity, highlighting the deep-seated love that defines the Wakefield sisters.Wāhi | LocationPorangahau RoadTohu Matawhenua | Geo Coordinates^[1]
