Traditional Knowledge
Conference 2008
 
8th to 11th June 2008

The pictures above portray a ‘challenge’ which takes place as part of the traditional Māori welcome. The warrior assesses the situation to determine whether the visitors come in peace or not. He runs forth, jumps about, and swings his staff about. He lays an offering before the visitors. By picking up the offering, they signify that the visit is peaceful. On seeing this, the elderly woman calls to the visitors and beckons them onto the village fore-court.
