on Enderby
How Māori lived on the sub-Antarctic island of Enderby is the focus of an ambitious expedition involving scientists from the University of Auckland, the University of Canterbury and Ngāi Tahu.
A challenge to the idea that pre-colonial Māori adapted to living in Aotearoa by planting gardens like kumara in the north and hunting wild resources like seals in the south is the focus of a significant expedition to the Auckland Islands in the Southern Ocean.
The Marsden-funded expedition is led by Simon Holdaway and Thegn Ladefoged, professors of archaeology at Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland, and Dr Matiu Prebble, a senior lecturer in environmental science at the University of Canterbury.
