EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1902, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of New Zealand's North Island. The image showcases a Maori pa, or fortified village, nestled on the banks of the Whanganui River. With its hilltop location and sturdy buildings, this traditional Polynesian settlement stands as a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of its people. The photograph captures both the physical structures and the vibrant community that once thrived within these walls. People can be seen going about their daily lives amidst houses that blend harmoniously with the surrounding landscape. The intricate tattoos adorning some individuals' faces symbolize their connection to their ancestry and identity. As we delve deeper into this monochrome scene, we are transported to an era where ethnicity was celebrated through artistry and tradition. This snapshot offers us a window into Aotearoa's past—a time when fortified villages were typical features in New Zealand's geography. Through Muir & Moodie's lens, we are invited to appreciate not only the architectural marvels but also gain insight into Maori culture and way of life during this period in history. This print serves as a valuable ethnographic record that allows us to connect with our roots while honoring those who came before us.
