I roto a James Alexander i ngā pakanga nui o Aotearoa. Kei roto i tana whakaahua i tāngia i te tau 1861, e mau ana ētahi Māori i ngā kākahu o ētahi hōia nō te raki o Awherika, arā, ngā fez kikorangi me ngā knickerbockers. Kīhai rawa te hōia Māori i mau kākahu pēnei. He tauira tēnei mō te hē rawa atu o ngā whakaaturanga a te Pākehā mō te Māori.
