 No crew members of the Endeavour would die during their time in New Zealand.The first amicable and refuelling landing for Cook and the crew took place in Tolaga Bay, and later in both Mercury Bay and the Bay of Islands over the first two months.Cook and crew were hosted by local "iwi" (tribes) and "hapū" (subtribes) at their landing sites, and with exchange of taonga, goods, resources and knowledge; safe passage around the coastline was attributed to the "mana" (prestige) and distinction of Tupaia on board the Endeavour.
