Centring Tupaia and Pacific worldviews, this book weaves a new set of cultural histories in the Pacific between local islanders and the crew of the Endeavour on James Cook’s first ‘voyage of discovery’ (1768-1771). This book revisits material collections brought back from the voyage, with chapters covering Tupaia’s drawings, journals and cartography, textiles and objects of old worlds and new, clothing, animal iconography, instruments and ethnomusicology, and performances and rituals. Bringing together Pacific and indigenous artists and scholars, this book presents a cross-cultural conversation around the concepts of acquired and curated museum artefacts that traversed oceans and entwined cultures.
