In 1901 the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York visited Rotorua, where an assembly of Māori tribes from around New Zealand came together. In this image Te Arawa are welcoming the duke and duchess beneath a raised flag which featured the Union Jack in the corner and the words 'Ko-Parua' (it is Parua), which may refer to Ngāti Parua – a hapū of Ngāti Pikiao.
