Graphic novel. "In this series, children will learn about people, both Māori and Pākehā, who attempted to live by the most selfless of standards even in the midst of very difficult circumstances ... As a point of interest, in these stories children will discover how many Māori embraced Christian values (including forgiveness and peace) at a level that was far higher than that of the colonial armies and those settlers who oppressed them. This is New Zealand's untold story"--Publisher's Web site.

"Many fights are taking place between Māori of different iwi. Many people are being killed and families destroyed. How can the violence end? Can the journey of two brave Māori men make a difference?"--Back cover.
