Notes
In 2002, an ancient skull was discovered in Fiji. Who was this woman? What sort of life did she lead? And how did her ancestors make their way from South-east Asia to the central Pacific over tens of thousands of years. In this book we will answer the questions and many more. Some of her descendants stay in Fiji and live there to this day. Others travelled east, and over many generations made it as far as Hawai’i. And eventually they turned towards the south-west and headed to Aotearoa.Contents
