EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at the Native School in Whakarewarewa, New Zealand, circa 1948. A group of Maori children are engrossed in a lively hand game, showcasing their traditional culture and playful spirits. Seated in a circle indoors, these young boys and girls demonstrate the enduring traditions of their indigenous heritage. Dressed in typical attire, they exude an air of curiosity and camaraderie as they engage with one another. The backdrop of this scene is adorned with natural phenomena unique to the region - geysers. The Waikite Geyser looms behind them, reminding us of the powerful forces that shape this beautiful country. This image offers a glimpse into the daily lives of Maori children during mid-20th century Aotearoa (New Zealand). It serves as a testament to their resilience and pride in preserving their cultural practices amidst changing times. Preserved within the pages of "Newnes Pictorial Knowledge Volume 3" this photograph allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic value. Although taken by an unknown photographer, it continues to captivate viewers today through its monochrome beauty. As we observe these Maori children playing together, we are reminded of the importance of cherishing our roots while embracing progress. This print stands as a tribute to New Zealand's rich heritage and serves as an inspiration for future generations.
