An interesting posting of a women to be admired for her courage over her 40 years of service and reign. I am very interested in Maori culture and I think Maoris have fared much better than the Australian aborigines, particularly in regard to their treaty negotiations.


Best wishes

Lindseys right about the Aust. aboriginals especially the Tassie aboriginals. Those are beautiful flowers. Sounds interesting.
