WHERE MAORI AND PAKEHA FIRST MET The landing of Captain Cook at Anaura Bay (East Coast) was re-enacted in full costume recently, when the National Historic Places Trust established a plaque on the Bay as a memorial to this first contract between the Maori and the British peoples. Most of the members of the Trust had gone to the East Coast for the unveiling and gave suitable addresses. Three boys, representing Captain Cook and two of his crew, came inland in a longboat as the ceremony was progressing. They walked with dignity across the sand and were welcomed by a Maori chief and the people of the village. All were dressed in appropriate costumes. The Maori children playing their parts gave the scene a vivid atmosphere. During the ceremony, the local Maori people were represented by Mr Peta Maurere. A canoe poi to welcome Captain Cook.
