Whetū and Nick: The Quest for the Map, the Kite and the Sacred Maunga  In line with the 250th year commemorating of the arrival of James Cook and the Endeavour's 1769 voyage to Aotearoa New Zealand. ​ 250 Years ago, in 1769, James Cook sailed the HMS Endeavour, navigating and drawing an extraordinary map of New Zealand, a map so accurate that it is still cherished today. But what if this map was blown away by the mischievous Māori god of weather  Tāwhiri-rangi? Whetū & Nick  tells an original tale of a young Māori girl and a British orphan cabin boy who set out in search of Cook’s map, a flying kite and the sacred  maunga  (mountain) .  Along the way they discover their cultural differences and similarities, their people’s voyages and their shared love of Aotearoa.  Their young lives will take a momentous turn as they go through the forest and find themselves atop the sacred  maunga . Whetū & Nick  is a two-man act and live performance led by Akinehi M
