EDITORS COMMENTS
Mohi, a Maori Chief from New Zealand, poses confidently for the camera in this photograph from the late 1890s. The Maori people, the indigenous Polynesian inhabitants of New Zealand, have a rich and complex history that dates back over 800 years. Mohi's powerful presence and traditional attire serve as a testament to the proud and resilient Maori culture that has endured through centuries of colonization and change. The Maori people are known for their distinctive facial tattoos, which were traditionally applied using a chisel-like tool called a "matau." These intricate designs represented an individual's genealogy, status, and personal achievements. Mohi's facial tattoos, along with his elaborate headdress and ornate cloak, are all typical of the Maori tribal dress of the time. Despite the encroachment of European settlers and the introduction of Western culture, the Maori people have continued to preserve their traditions and language. Today, they make up around 15% of the New Zealand population and are an integral part of the country's diverse cultural landscape. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a valuable record of the Maori people and their history. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving cultural heritage and celebrating the diversity of human populations around the world.
