Introducing Tā Ian Taylor
I remember being amazed when a man first stepped on the moon over 50 years ago. But I was truly gobsmacked when I discovered my ancestors went on their own voyage into the unknown.
About 4000 years ago they set off on an epic journey that took them all the way from South East Asia to Aotearoa! My friend Professor Lisa Matisoo-Smith calls it the greatest migration in human history!
