History
The Waka Journey
The traditional waka (Māori canoe) is an iconic symbol of New Zealand. It reflects the maritime traditions of the Māori people, and the important role of Māori culture in modern New Zealand society. Waka are used to welcome important visitors to New Zealand and to mark significant events for our nation.
"Maori art is inseparable from Maori culture. It is like a living organism that exists in the spirit of our people and drives them toward wider horizons and greater achievement."
