Te Ao Tawhito : The Old World 3000 Bc - Ad 1830
Paperback Edition: 1
Te Ao Tawhito : The Old World contemplates Maori origins in the blue continent, the vast Pacific Ocean across which the earliest ancestors travelled to settle these southernmost Pacific islands. Here they organised into hapu and iwi, adapting tropical ways to life in a huge
