Pupils from Aokautere School dressed up for a Teaching Unit on Māori
- Description
A group of pupils from Aokautere School wear costumes and painted moko as part of a teaching unit on Māori. They pose in front of a museum display. This photo is of historical interest as it reflects the manner in which schools were increasingly teaching their students about non-European cultures, but did not always do so in a respectful, cultural sensitive manner. Aokautere School (formerly known as Fitzherbert East School) was established in 1889.
