First we would like to show the photographs taken by Professor James Belich on his recent trip through various settler communities including, the American West, Canada, and his home island of New Zealand.

These are copies of images I took during my trip out to settler communities here in the American West.
Here I have a photo of an american settler family
 Here I have an image of early Arrival in the West, 

And here is an example of an American West settlement pamphlet.



Next, here are some images from my trip up to Canada, first, here is an image of a settler family, 

Next here is an image of early contact in Canada, 

and here is an early example of an immigrant pamphlet in Canada

Last, I would like to finish with my trip home, here is an photograph I took of a Kiwi settler family, 

Then in the archives I found this great image of early Settler contact with a New Zealand indigenous community
And lastly an immigration pamphlet encouraging settler to New Zealand.
