460 pages :

Summary: The dynamics of an evolving southern world are mapped by archaeologist Atholl Anderson in a new edition of his groundbreaking book from 1998. The Welcome of Strangers traces the early migrations of Waitaha and Kāti Māmoe people and the later arrival and settlement of Ngāi Tahu. These were the communities that the first Europeans encountered, as whalers, sealers and missionaries made their way around the coast. With new research, informative maps and a strong visual narrative, The Welcome of Strangers is co-published with Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu. (Publisher)
