Before Maori - NZ's First Inhabitants (Paperback)

This book explores a variety of evidence pointing to a long-term pre-Maori inhabitation of New Zealand. It covers the movement of people from Africa, across Asia and down through the Pacific, tracing their route by demonstrating striking similarities of language and culture. The content may be controversial, but the book, far from being divisive, encourages all native-born New Zealanders to think of themselves as one people.
