A Captain's Chiefly Gift - Tales from Te Papa episode 52

This 'ahu 'ula cloak was given to Captain Cook himself. Although it was a chiefly gift indeed, it did not protect him from his fate. One of Te Papa's most precious objects from the Pacific, this Hawaiian 'aumakua hulu manu is fearsome to behold. TALES FROM TE PAPA is a fascinating new series of mini-documentaries for TVNZ 7 that showcase many of the exciting, wonderful and significant pieces that are held in our national museum. Tales from Te Papa is commissioned by TVNZ 7, in partnership with Te Papa. http://www.tepapa.govt.nz/talesfromte...
