SOME PICTURES WOULD BE GREAT PERHAPS A POST ON THE MAORI OR MUSEUM WOULD BE OF INTREST TO SOME OTHER FORUM MEMBERS ALSO. THANKS STU
THE CLAIMING OF TRIBAL ITEMS SEEMS TO BE GOING AROUND, HERE IN THE STATES SOME MUSEUMS HAVE HAD SOME PROBLEMS. PERHAPS WHEN IT GETS TO THE CELTS AND PICTS I TOO CAN REPOSES SOME NICE ARTEFACTS FROM COLLECTORS AND MUSEUMS.
I VISITED KIWI LAND IN 1978 AND WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH IT. I TOOK IN A LOT OF THE SIGHTS ON THE NORTH AND SOUTH ISLANDS BUT MISSED THE MUSEUM IN CHRISTSCHURCH DIDN'T MAKE IT TO DUNIDIN EITHER JUST MT.COOK, TEANAU AND QUEENSTOWN ON THE SOUTH ISLAND. I SAW THE MUSEUM IN AUKLAND AND THEY HAVE A VERY IMPRESSIVE MAORI AND OCEANIC COLLECTION.
IF THE LOCAL MUSEUM HAS PUT OUT ANY BOOKS ON THEIR COLLECTIONS I WOULD LIKE TO CONTACT THEM AND BUY A COPY. PERHAPS I WILL GET A CHANCE TO VISIT AGAIN SOME DAY IF SO I WILL TRY TO DROP BY YOUR TOWN AND BUY YOU ONE OF THE DELICOUS LOCAL DARK BEERS "MY FAVORITE!".
