Recent visitors to Gisborne in the course of an exchange scheme were a group of North American Indians. The visitors are on a friendly study tour of New Zealand while a group of Maori people are on a visit to the U.S.A., each seeing how the other lives.
The Indians are pictured with some of the people who billeted them while they were in Gisborne.

In front: George Marsden, Raymond Kane, Pare Jones, Seferino Tenorio and Joe Sando.
