The Re-enactment of Settlers Arriving in Palmerston North

Description

This image compliments a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 13th March 1971 "It might have been 100 years ago, but this was the scene in Palmerston North this morning. Mr. and Mrs. G.M. Snelson and their 16-year-old ward Matilda Montgomery..." [Groups of Māori in traditional dress gather at the river bank as the Snelson's step out of their canoe, as part of the re-enactment of the Snelson's canoe landing from 1871.]
