The Pacific: In The Wake of Captain Cook

S01E02 Endeavour and New Zealand

Engaging with historians, activists, artists, and local residents, Sam explores a rich tapestry of trade, traditions, and historical conflicts. He finds it fascinating that the Maori oral stories of Tupaia resonate more powerfully and vividly than those of Captain Cook. Rediscovering the forgotten aspects of Polynesian history proves to be far more impactful than mere admiration for the foreign invaders.
