The Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says it's important New Zealand acknowledges "the hard stuff" in its history, and says the Tuia 250 commemorations do just that. Today is the 250th anniversary of Captain James Cook's arrival in New Zealand. A dawn ceremony has been held in Gisborne to acknowledge the nine Maori men who were killed by Cook's crew.
