EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Reihana Waha-nui, a prominent figure in Maori history. The illustration, taken from John White's Ancient History of the Maori, beautifully captures the essence of this influential leader. Reihana Waha-nui was a chief and tribal ruler belonging to the Nguti Maniapoto iwi from the Waikato-Waitomo region of New Zealand. In this portrait, Reihana Waha-nui exudes power and authority. Dressed in a traditional suit, his strong presence is enhanced by his striking facial tattoo adorned with intricate designs that symbolize his status and lineage. His quarter-length moustache adds an air of sophistication to his already commanding appearance. The engraving skillfully portrays not only Reihana Waha-nui's physical features but also hints at the depth of character behind them. It invites us to delve into the rich history and cultural heritage embodied by this remarkable individual. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness the strength and resilience of Maori leaders like Reihana Waha-nui who played pivotal roles in shaping their communities. This print serves as a testament to their legacy and reminds us of the importance of honoring indigenous cultures worldwide.
