EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, two Maori individuals engage in a traditional greeting, known as the "hongi," which is a significant aspect of Maori culture and etiquette. The hongi is a unique and ancient custom that involves the rubbing of noses between two people as a sign of respect, peace, and connection. This practice is believed to have originated from the Maori belief that the breath of life resides in the nose, and by sharing breaths, two people can establish a spiritual bond. The photograph, taken in 1891, offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the rich and complex history of the Maori people of New Zealand. The individuals in the image are dressed in traditional Maori attire, with intricately designed tattoos adorning their bodies, and their expressions convey a sense of warmth and mutual respect. The hongi was an essential part of Maori social life, and it was customary for visitors to be welcomed with this greeting upon arrival. It was also used to mark significant occasions, such as the signing of peace treaties or the beginning of important negotiations. Despite the passage of time, the hongi remains an integral part of Maori culture, and it continues to be practiced today. It is a powerful reminder of the resilience and adaptability of Maori traditions, which have endured for centuries and continue to shape the identity of the Maori people. This photograph, captured over a century ago, offers us a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the depth and richness of Maori history and culture. It is a testament to the enduring power of tradition and the importance of respecting and preserving the customs and practices of the past.
