Excellent book and what an amazing explorer he was. Sad about the outcomes of how there were confrontations among the cultures but I’m not surprised. It seems there was still mutual respect and hopefully some decreased ethnocentrism given how respected Tupaia was during these voyages. I felt bad for him as his time in England dragged on and he was killed so soon upon returning to Polynesia.
