Ngāi Tahu: A Migration History is based on a history of Ngāi Tahu written by Hugh Carrington in the 1930s. He drew on the earlier work of ethnographers such as W. A.Taylor, J. W. Stack and John White, but also directly interviewed graduates of wānanga (houses of learning) in the South Island. The text tells of the more recent history of Ngāi Tahu’s migration to the South Island from the North.
