They are some of the most fascinating characters of our history, yet few know who they are. These are the stories of Māori painted by the artist Gottfried Lindauer. Over seven episodes, the personal stories of the twenty-one tūpuna are presented with startling honesty by their descendants. - The missing heirloom, the warrior and English bride, and the practice of cannibalism challenge perceptions of history in this season premiere. The paintings in this episode are the portraits of Pare Watana, Kamariera Te Hau Takari Wharepapa, and Eru Tamaikoha Te Ariari.
