“Maori and Europeans were encountering one another for the first time not just along the shorelines of New Zealand but also on the streets of Melbourne, Liverpool and New York.”

From the late eighteenth century, Maori travellers ventured far beyond Aotearoa, journeying across the globe for curiosity, adventure, commerce, diplomacy, and sometimes under duress. Many returned home with new experiences and insights, weaving their stories into the broader narrative of Maori and Pakeha encounters.

In this compelling book, acclaimed historian Vincent O’Malley presents a series of vivid vignettes that uncover remarkable tales of Maori voyaging, discovery, and cross-cultural exchange. Offering fresh perspectives on early Maori history and global connections, Haerenga broadens our understanding of the international dimensions of New Zealand’s past.
