	Description:		Today it is all about multi-cultural kai but in the past Otahuhu had its own food story. It is situated between the Manukau Harbour and the Tamaki River and that piece of land is just one kilometre wide - the narrowest point in all of Aotearoa. While monuments and signs recognise its military past, in early times Otahuhu was a bustling trading spot with a portage for waka on the Manukau. Otahuhu means Te Tahuhutanga o Te Waka Tainui, which translates as the ridgepole of the Tainui waka but local iwi, and mana whenua Te Akitai Waiohua are not descended from Waikato Tainui. Local iwi Chairperson of Te Akitai Waiohua, Karen Wilson joins Mihi for a chat - on the maunga itself.
