N2  - "Which European discoverer first saw New Zealand and documented its existence? How did contact with Europeans, or 'pakeha', affect Maori, who had settled the country many hundreds of years before European discovery? Why did European explorers want to extend their voyages to the bottom of the world? During the early 1600s, explorers from Europe were ever-expanding their horizons of discovery. Some were searching for the 'Southern Continent', which they considered would hold many riches. The race to discover the continent began. The Coming of the Pakeha documents the events, motives and European people who made first contact with Maori and the land that was eventually named New Zealand."--Cover
