Whenua Hou : A New Land The Story Of Codfish Island
Paperback Edition: 1
Whenua Hou/Codfish Island in Foveaux Strait, best known as a kakapo sanctuary, has a greater claim to fame as the foothold of bicultural Aotearoa New Zealand. From the early 1800s, European sealers and Maori women were raising families here. This book describes first contact, colonisation, sealing, farming, nature conservation, modern archaeology and the islands status as an ancestral homeland.
