Lost in Translation The Tauranga sheet
Tonight (Tauranga/Matakana Island/Coromandel/Auckland): As well as tensions between Maori and Pakeha, and between tribes, another rivalry was going strong at the time of the Treaty signing – between Protestant and Catholic missionaries. King explores this, and in the process finds himself on the trail of another mystery, as he goes in search of another sheet that never returned to Crown hands. This one was one of the flashest of the lot – beautifully ornate, with wax seals – and improbably, he does find it.
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.
