Tupaia's Endeavour at Ka Pai Kaiti
In 1769 Tupaia, a Tahitian high priest, joined the crew of the Endeavour as it navigated the South Pacific. A navigator, diplomat, artist and explorer; Tuapaia played an important role in interpreting and mediating between Māori communities and Lieutenant Cook and the crew of the Endeavour.
As a navigator and voyager himself Tupaia brings his own kōrero to a well known story through the voices of his whānau who are on a mission to bring the story of their tipuna to light.
As part of Tuia 250 ki Turanga, many in Turanga / Gisborne had the opportunity to learn more about this little known, but significant, part of the Endeavour story. We will be sharing this documentary on many other occassions, right around the district as we develop our year-long wananga designed to contemplate what dual heritage actually looks like and have those conversations vital to forging a shared future. It is our hope that conversations will be had, journeys will be taken, perspectives will broaden and experiences shared as we get ready to host the nation in October 2019.
