EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the moment of departure for a journey of great significance in New Zealand's 19th century history. Eleven men, dressed in traditional Maori garb, are seen boarding a large canoe, or waka, on the shores of a tranquil lake. The canoe, known as a "New Zealand Canoe," is an impressive sight, with its distinctive curved bow and stern, and its intricately carved decorations. The men in the photograph are likely to be members of a iwi, or tribal community, embarking on a mission of regional importance. Canoes like this one were the primary means of transportation and communication between different parts of New Zealand before the arrival of Europeans. They were used for fishing, trading, and warfare, and were often decorated with symbols of the tribe's history and identity. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of New Zealand's past. It also serves as a reminder of the important role that canoes played in the lives of Maori people, who have a deep connection to the water and the land. The image is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the Maori people, who adapted to their environment and developed sophisticated technologies to meet their needs. The exact date and location of this photograph are not known, but it is believed to have been taken in the late 19th century. It is a valuable historical record, providing insight into a time when New Zealand was still largely untouched by European influence. The photograph is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the unique cultural traditions and heritage of New Zealand's indigenous people.
