First People in New Zealand
This documentary traces the arrival of the first people in New Zealand, following the Polynesian voyagers whose navigation carried them across vast stretches of open Pacific to reach the islands. It looks at how the Maori settled a new land, adapted to its resources, and built a distinct culture over the centuries that followed. Drawing on archaeology and oral tradition, it reconstructs one of history's great feats of exploration. Clear and engaging, it is an accessible entry into Pacific and Maori history.
