From Hui to The Trial of the Cannibal Dog to today' s debates about the future of Aotearoa, Anne Salmond has explored who we are to each other.This book traces Anne Salmond' s journey as an anthropologist, as a writer and activist, as a Pakeha New Zealander, as a friend, wife and mother. The book brings together her key writing on the Maori world, cultural contact, Te Tiriti and the wider Pacific – much of it appearing in book form for the first time – and embeds these writings in her life and relationships, her travels and friends.This is the story of Aotearoa and the story of one woman' s pathway through our changing land.
