Discover the untold story of New Zealand's first permanent European settlement and its impact on Maori culture.

Pewhairangi delves into the archaeology of missionization in New Zealand, placing it in an international context. This is the story of Hohi, New Zealand's first permanent European settlement, and the church mission it represented. Explore the engagement between Ngapuhi and Pakeha as neighbors over four decades, including chiefs, missionaries like Samuel Marsden, and their families.

Uncover the multiple comings and goings in the Bay of Islands, captured by amateur and professional artists whose works illustrate this fine volume. Gain insights into:

• The daily lives of missionaries and Maori
• The cultural exchanges that shaped early New Zealand
• The archaeological evidence of mission sites
