When Toawaka Met Cook
Paperback Edition: 1
When Toawaka Met Cook explores the 12 extraordinary days that Cook and his crew spent with the Mercury Bay tribe, the Ngati Hei. It goes into detail on remarkable events such as the introduction of the potato to New Zealand, Te Horeta's special gift, and the build-up to the first powhiri between the crew of the Endeavour and the Ngati Hei people.
When Toawaka Met Cook is the first book to go into depth on this time that very literally shaped our shared culture.
