History of Aotearoa New Zealand Podcast
127.2 - Q+A 2023
Ep. 127.2
•
To end our chapter on the pre-European period of Aotearoa's history I asked for your questions and you delivered! You guys sent in so many/I spoke too much that I had to split the episode into 5 parts.
I messed up the audio a little bit in these episodes and it was gonna be a huge hassle to fix it so I've decided to leave it as is. It's not awful, just not as good as I'd like so apologies for that!
Topics covered in the episode are:
Urupā/Cemeteries
The Māori lunar calendar and celestial navigation
Incorrect history around the Moriori and other conspiracy theories
Check out the website and shownotes!
