Vincent OMalleys account of the first meeting between Ngti Tmatakkiri and Abel Tasmans crew sets the scene for how two peoples navigated fraught beginnings to find a meeting place in pre-Treaty Aotearoa.
Dr OMalley tells the story of encounters between Mori and Pkeh in a turbulent landscape still shaped by Mori authority and evolving relationships. Early misunderstandings and violence gradually give way to mutual accommodation and adaptation. In this middle ground, people traded, intermarried, forged alliances and shaped each others ways of life until this fragile balance was undone in the decades after 1840. Through peoples stories, OMalley brings to life a time of extraordinary change.
