Captain James Cook's landing and the Indigenous first words contested by Aboriginal leaders

Captain James Cook FRS (7 November [O.S. 27 October] 1728 – 14 February 1779) was a British explorer, cartographer, and naval officer famous for his three voyages between 1768 and 1779 to the Pacific and Southern Oceans. He completed the first recorded circumnavigation of the main islands of New Zealand and was the first known European to visit the eastern coastline of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands. #captaincook #captaincookmonument #anchorlife #anchoragealaska #alaskahistory #walkwithhisto
