Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Maoris - Canoes Publicity Caption: View of Maori Hall. In front is a fishing canoe (waka tete) with its hull hewn from one log. This type of canoe was also for general travel, and was smaller and lesser ornate than the war canoe as seen behind. This war canoe (waka tawa) with the personal name "Teremoe", played a part in engagements on the Wanganui River during the Maori Wars 1864 - 72. Its 54ft. long hull was carved from one totara log. In the background from left to right, is a crayfish pot made of supplejack vine, three war canoe stern-posts (Taurapa), a small storehouse set on a pole for storing valuable objects, two ridgepoles from meeting houses and three stockade figures from fortified villages (pa). Photographer: Mr. Neill
