## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Once were warriors
*by J***N on July 7, 2025*

I read this book while visiting New Zealand. I am Dutch. My family emigrated here in 1964. I slept last night in my brother’s house. His partner’s great great great grandmother was a Maori woman.Yesterday we visited Takapuneke, the site of a massacre in 1830 that led to the creation of the Treaty of Waitangi.This wonderfully honest exploration of the meeting of two humans from two different worlds was the perfect companion.I myself married and had a daughter with a man born in the Virgin Islands whose ancestors include enslaved people from Angola, Taino people who were living on those islands before Columbus came, and Jewish enslavers from Denmark who came to make their fortunes growing sugarcane.Christine Thompson feels like a soul mate. Thank you Christine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good history lesson, tepid life story
*by K***T on December 2, 2009*

I genuinely enjoyed the history lessons and found myself Googling many things mentioned in this book to learn more. To me, it was the perfect introduction to the Maori history and culture.The personal story that is weaved into the book felt lacking. I was left wanting to know much more about the author's husband and his thoughts about her taking on this writing project (she is a white academic from Boston; he is a blue collar Maori). Additionally, the last couple chapters felt self indulgent. I understand why the author wrote about her privileged family tree, but it felt tacky to me.In all, this is a good read, and I recommend it. I found myself talking about it at parties, sharing some of the grim facts (cannibalism) and curious history (a female Brit prisoner leaving ship to stay alone in New Zealand). It was just enough history to be interesting, and not so much that I felt I was sitting in class. Well done.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I loved it.
*by S***N on August 27, 2025*

A white person, having grown up next to and going to school on an Indian reservation in Northern California I fully appreciate Christina Thompson’s work in this book to come to terms with what that means in my own life. She peels back the layers with sensitivity and humor that are quite wonderful.
