Purchased by Mr. Jim Peters, MP, Vice Chancellor Maori Auckland University. For the Whangarei District Council in 2004.
The title reflects an old saying of a far North kaumatua, who stated: “…the Pakeha has the shadow of the land, but Maori will have the substance…” That of course has been entirely reversed in modern times.
The cannon depicted was replaced with a [generic] Scottish cannonade in recent years.
Thanks very much for the extra detail. Pictures are worth a thousand words, but sometimes the words help the picture.
