EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the traditional Maori greeting, known as the "hongi" or "hongi kore" in Maori culture, between two Maori men from New Zealand in the early 1900s. The hongi is a distinctive and ancient Maori custom that involves the pressing of noses and the exchange of breath between two individuals. This unique greeting represents a deep connection between the people involved, symbolizing peace, respect, and the sharing of life forces. In this image, the men are seen with their long, flowing hair tied back, wearing traditional Maori costumes. They hold each other's hands and press their noses together, inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly. The exchange of breath is believed to bring about a sense of unity and understanding between the two parties. The hongi has its origins in ancient Maori society and has been practiced for centuries. It is an important part of Maori culture and is still used today as a way of welcoming visitors and strengthening relationships between people. This photograph, taken around 1905, provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Maori people of New Zealand and the enduring significance of their customs and traditions.
