Te Powhiri - the Welcome - Introduction/description
A new relationship is beginning between two extremely different cultures. It's a relationship that will be tested to its very limits.

A Wesleyan mission station in Northland has been raided causing the missionaries to flee for their lives. A Maori war party is moving through the bush towards them bringing a new danger. Chief Patuone has a decision to make - kill the white people or follow the new message that is coming to Aotearoa.
