Maori waka taua (war canoe) at Waitangi NZ

Waitangi Day is commemorated on 6 February and to mark this NZ special day here is a photo of an impressive waka in the Waitangi museum, built for the centennial 1940 commemoration. In pre-European times these waka were the only form of transport in the country.

For info, see the book Nga Waka Maori which we published in the 1990s.
