Mutual Acceptance There was instantaneous and mutual accepttance when Aborigine and Maori met. All meetings together had the same spirit as our meetings at home because of the empathy and warmth between us—racial differences did not exist. The first evening together, Mana Rangi gave the traditional Maori welcome which was watched with awe and applauded with vigour. After this we talked of our play centres, showed pictures of play centre activities, our New Zealand way of life, and demonstrated some of the arts and crafts practised by our people. The end of the evening came with the Hiria Parata, Mana Rangi and Betty Brown board the ‘plane for their trip to Sydney from Canberra.
Maori action songs to which the Aboriginal people became almost addicted—at every opportunity they asked for a repeat of the performance.
