The book offers a narrative of the early days and tumultuous events in New Zealand, focusing particularly on the arrival and settlement of the Maori people, their challenges, and their relationship with the land. It delves into the myths surrounding their migration and attempts to weave a compelling depiction of both environment and culture during this significant era. The opening of the book begins with a lamentation in Hawaiki, where conflict and strife force a chief named Ngahue to seek a new land for his people. He embarks on a voyage across the ocean with a group of warriors, led by gods who promise them a beautiful new home, which later transforms into the lands of New Zealand. This portion introduces the reader to the rich mythology surrounding the Maori's origin and their journey to a land they ultimately revere, filled with natural beauty and potential. The narrative sets the stage for exploring deeper themes of identity, conflict, and the fundamental connection between the Maori and their environment. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
