"The land surveyors stood at a particular point in New Zealand's colonisation, implementing its principles on the ground and acting as mediators between cultures. For the Crown surveying was an essential part of the process of converting Maori customary tenure into Crown-derived grants. It was a means by which the British began to make the country their own."--BOOK JACKET.
