EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a Maori woman from New Zealand in the late 1890s. The Maori people are the indigenous Polynesian population of New Zealand, with a rich cultural heritage that dates back over 700 years. This woman's strong and proud demeanor is evident in her steady gaze and the confident posture of her body. She wears a traditional Maori hat, or "pākehā," which was often adopted by Maori women as a sign of respect for European culture during this period of colonial influence. Despite the encroachment of European settlers and the challenges they brought, the Maori people continued to preserve their unique identity and traditions. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a valuable record of the Maori people and their resilience in the face of change. The Maori population in New Zealand numbered around 45,000 in the late 1800s, making up around 12% of the total population. Today, the Maori population is over 600,000, making up around 15% of the total population. The Maori people continue to play an important role in New Zealand's cultural and political landscape, with a strong emphasis on preserving their language, traditions, and history. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich cultural diversity that exists within New Zealand's population and the importance of recognizing and celebrating the unique histories and identities of indigenous peoples around the world.
