From Lately, 10:45 pm on 22 August 2019

The largely untold story of Tahitian Tupaia and his role in Captain Cook's travels around New Zealand is centre stage in an exhibition at Auckland museum to mark 250 years since the first onshore meetings between Māori and Europeans. It's going to be opened to the public next month. Museum Content and Interpretation Developer Kavi Chetty talks to Karyn about what's on offer and the incredible story of high priest Tupaia.
