EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Maori culture - the traditional greeting known as Te Hongi. Taken on 24 March 1920, this image showcases a group of Maori individuals coming together to perform this customary gesture. The Te Hongi involves the gentle rubbing of noses while emitting dog-like howls, symbolizing unity and respect. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the photograph, allowing us to delve into the rich history of indigenous communities. In this particular scene, we witness men, women, and couples gathered outside their humble hut. The housing and living conditions depicted here provide insight into the daily lives of these resilient individuals. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time by Central News' lens, it serves as a reminder of the importance placed on community bonds within Maori society. This powerful display of cultural heritage transcends geographical boundaries and connects us with an ancient tradition that continues to be cherished today. Through TopFoto's preservation efforts, we are granted access to invaluable glimpses into diverse cultures around the world. This print not only documents an iconic Maori greeting but also sheds light on historical moments that shape our understanding of humanity's collective past.
