200 years ago, the young Ngare Raumati chief Tuai left the Bay of Islands for an epic trip around the UK and Europe.
While travelling, the multi-talented Tuai drew a number of artworks - three of which are going on display at the Royal Academy of Arts' Oceania exhibition later this month.
Professor Alison Jones from Auckland University is one of the authors of the Ockham Award-winning book Tuai: A Traveller in Two Worlds, and joins us to talk a bit more about this remarkable man.
