Who are the Maori of Aotearoa? How did they arrive, settle the land, and form the many iwi that make up the country today?

This landmark publication, the first to emerge from the Te Ara Encyclopedia of New Zealand project, tells the story of tangata whenua from their Pacific voyaging and settlement of Aotearoa through to the histories of all the major iwi. It also explores the contemporary challenges and issues Maori face today.
