I'd say Waitangi Day is the day in New Zealand that comes closest to Independence Day although we celebrate our days quite differently.
Māori cultural performances are always part of the activities. This is the Kapa Haka group at our local school.
I'm looking forward to seeing how those from other countries interpret this topic. They will be here.
That is beautiful. I love the looks on their faces and the effort that is evident there. Love the costumes also. Great photo.

Love your interpretation. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see another different take on the topic :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's so important to include the Maori and their cultural heritage in Waitangi Day.
ReplyDeleteLovely costume! It's just the same here, when we have a National Day show, there must be performances from all races here.
ReplyDeleteMakes me feel rather homesick.
