Pākehā Tapu Day

Pākehā Tapu Day.

by J. Wiremu Kane; illustrations by Andrew Burdan

This historical story is based on a true story. In 1828, English artist Augustus Earle was living in Kororāreka under the protection of the rangatira Uruti Te Whareumu, who was also known as King George. Te Whareumu had good relationships with European traders and missionaries and welcomed all Pākehā to live on his beach.
