Off to Hawaiki? We took this photograph of Mr Mark Metekingi when he came into Te Ao Hou's office recently to talk about the canoe voyage which he hopes to make back in the direction of Hawaiki, the Homeland of the Maori. We mention this fact because a background of filing cabinets and office paraphernalia isn't really a very suitable one for a man with such very outdoor ambitions. Department (to find out the regulations concerning Mr Metekingi had just been to see the Marine small craft on ocean voyages), the Forestry Department (to enquire about trees for the canoe), the National Publicity Department, and several other Government Departments. He said he was very encouraged by the interest his idea was causing, and that if finance (an estimated p5,000) can be obtained, and if the project receives the support of the Maori People, he is convinced that such a voyage would be practical and worthwhile.
