- The song that called them home / by Robertson,David, 1977-; McKibbin, Maya,1995-;
"One summer day, Lauren and her little brother, James, go on a trip to the land with their Moshom (grandfather). After they've arrived, the children decide to fish for dinner while Moshom naps.

One day, James's kōkom takes him on a special walk with a big group of people. It's called a march, and it ends in front of a big pile of things: teddy bears, flowers, tobacco ties and little shoes.

He learns that his kōkom was sent away to one of these schools with her sister, who didn't come home. That night, James can't sleep so he follows the moonlit path to his mother.
