Dual heritage, shared future: James Cook, Tupaea and the transit of Venus at Tolaga Bay

Abstract

Uawa Tolaga Bay on the East Coast of the North Island was the place of first positive contact between Māori and European with the visit of HMS Endeavour in October 1769. The renaissance of Te Aitanga‐a‐Hauiti traditional history and culture has been enriched by re‐engagement with a dual heritage beginning with James Cook, Tupaea and those on the Endeavour . Recent educational initiatives, historical research, archaeological investigations and events surrounding the 2004 transit of Venus all contribute to new appreciation of this dual heritage and point towards an exciting shared future.
