Meer over het boek

The narrative follows M ori missionary Ike Samuels as he bravely navigates the perilous Torres Strait in a double-hulled canoe, enduring harsh conditions and subsisting on raw dugong meat. Driven by a deep commitment to reach the people of Papua New Guinea, Ike's journey is also rooted in his rich family heritage, tracing back to notable ancestors including his father, Phillip Hamiora, and his grandparents, who have significant ties to various Māori tribes and histories.
