To end our chapter on the pre-European period of Aotearoa's history I asked for your questions and you delivered! You guys sent in so many/I spoke too much that I had to split the episode into 5 parts.
I messed up the audio a little bit in these episodes and it was gonna be a huge hassle to fix it so I've decided to leave it as is. It's not awful, just not as good as I'd like so apologies for that!
Question covered in the episode are:
Can you talk in summary about the sources which you have drawn on for the pre-European information and what they have used as original sources: how reliable, how unreliable, how many sources, do they conflict in material areas, is there much ongoing research into this area, are there controversies going on in what is considered "to-date accepted history" please?
