Focusing on the first meetings of Maoris and Europeans from 1642 to 1722, this book reassesses accounts of early meetings between these two worlds, which have been told almost exclusively from the European perspective. Drawing upon local tribal knowledge as well as European accounts, the author shows both sets of protagonists actively pursuing their own practical, political and mythological agenda.
