This blog provides a visual-verbal snapshot of Maori culture and contemporary Maori lifestyles in modern New Zealand. It presents my own experiences and observations of Maori culture and is not intended in anyway to be the definitive view on all things Maori, but rather an introduction for those who want to know more about Maori culture and its place in everyday bicultural New Zealand.
I would like to say that the pictures that you have displayed are marvellous and i say that you are very fortunate to take so many shots of the different marae that live in the Hokianga.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to talk with the locals next time you visit the far north as their stories would be good to hear of how the land came to be and so forth.
Such a lovely comment - thank you!
ReplyDeleteYes, I was often sad I couldn't find anyone to talk to on my travels but I was usually travelling early in the morning and was always in a hurry, so as to keep to my travel/work schedule. I keep saying I will return when I am NOT working, but I have yet to make that commitment. Anyway, thank you again ad I'm glad you're enjoying my words and photos - Adrienne R
