Maori carvings tell a story, and we have a form of totem pole, called pou or pouwhenua here in New Zealand. They’re like carved poles and were used by the Maori to mark boundaries.
Mr Munro snapped photos of these pou up at Paihia in the north of the North Island.
I’m not sure what story these pou told, but they were definitely interesting!
Very cool!
I’ve never seen a whole lot together like this. They were very cool.
Those are very interesting totems.
Thanks, Mary,
Amazing photos, Shelley — thanks for sharing them!
