Sculpture Magnet

Bronze statue of Wairaka at the Entrance to Whakatane harbour, New Zealand. Volcanic whale island is in the background. When the great Mataatua canoe first arrived here, the men leaped ashore to explore the new land. The canoe broke its moorings near the river mouth with only the women aboard. The 13 year old Wairaka grabbed a paddle and yelled "E! Kia Whakatane au i ahau", meaning "let me become a man and guide the canoe to safety". This defied a tradition that prohibited women from paddling the great canoes (ref). N70907.3785 Nikon D70 | Nikon 18-200VR Featured in Our Planets Scenery (20 June 2014)
