This authoritative, groundbreaking study examines the consequences on the coastal landscape and its people, from the first Polynesian settlers until European colonization in the 18th century. A study of the wave of tsunamis that struck New Zealand in the 15th century, known as the ?big crunch," and precipitated various crises that led to cultural change 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xEcology$zNew Zealand 606 $aHuman beings$xEffect of environment on$zNew Zealand 606 $aNatural disasters$zNew Zealand$xHistory 606 $aMa?ori (New Zealand people)$xHistory 607 $aNew Zealand$xHistory 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xEcology 615 0$aHuman beings$xEffect of environment on 615 0$aNatural disasters$xHistory. 615 0$aMa?ori (New Zealand people)$xHistory. 676 $a993 700 $aMcFadgen$b B.
