Lost in Translation The Herald (Bunbury) sheet
Tonight (Akaroa / Stewart Island/Ruapuke Island /Otago/Marlborough Sounds): The sheer distance travelled is this episode is a feat in itself – a fair indication of what the Treaty carrier of the day had to do. British officer Major Thomas Bunbury was a trained military man and a hero of the wars against Napoleon before he came to New Zealand . He sets off on his mission to sign up the South Island , but returns with just 27 signatures. (Series finale)
LOST IN TRANSLATION – sees Mike King retrace the journey taken by the Treaty of Waitangi, back in 1840, to find the real story of what happened at the founding of our nation. He finds the descendants of those who signed, those who didn’t, and people whose forebears were the Treaty carriers - from missionaries to military men and traders. Nine versions of the document that founded our nation were brought around Aotearoa to gather up signatures, following the signings on that first Waitangi Day on February 6.
