The dynamics of an evolving southern world are mapped by distinguished archaeologist Atholl Anderson in a new edition of his groundbreaking book from 1998. The Welcome of Strangers: A History of Southern Māori traces the early migrations of Waitaha and Kāti Māmoe people and the later arrival and settlement of Ngāi Tahu. These were the communities that the first Europeans encountered, as whalers, sealers and missionaries made their way around the coast. With new research, informative maps and a strong visual narrative, The Welcome of Strangers is published by Bridget Williams Books in association with Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu.

Renowned author and scholar Atholl Anderson takes the stage alongside fellow Ngāi Tahu speakers in this engaging session.
