Cook's 'discovery' of New Zealand was one of many examples of Europeans 'discovering' land long occupied by indigenous peoples. Dr Susan Healy and Dr Tim McCreanor discuss where this concept came from, and how it continues to affect us. Mitzi Nairn will lead a discussion about how we can move past this history towards relationships of real encounter.

This is a free Auckland Heritage Festival event, to be held at the Auckland Central Library from 6:00pm to 7:30pm on Tuesday 19 November. Click on facebook or the flyer for more details.
