Product Information
Captain Cook for Young People is a book which champions the life and exploits of James Cook and the "benefits" of colonisation. Written by "Anti-separatist" John McLean who said in a Newshub article in relation to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the Waitangi Tribunal: "The chiefs ceded the entire country's sovereignty to Queen Victoria, and the idea of co-governance and partnership is a new idea that's only been invented about 170 years later."
We recommend that if this book is read, it is read alongside other books with alternative viewpoints.
