Summary: Traces the movement of people to Aotearoa over the centuries, from the first Polynesian settlers through to urban Māori migrants, British colonists to later 'Ten Pound Poms', Chinese immigrants from the gold rush years until today, Pasifika coming to work and refugees escaping troubled homelands. Many faced significant challenges to get here and discrimination once they arrived. This major movement of people, which has made for today's diverse society, comes to life in this NZ Series text with concise text, colour illustrations and fact boxes. (Back cover)
