Welcome!

×

Age, youth, a warming welcome, and the bewilderment of childhood.... they're all conveyed in this picture by Wal Britton, of Auckland. He took it when three Tokelauan families and 22 single women arrived at Mangere recently under the resettlement scheme administered by the Island Territories and Maori Affairs Departments. Miss Tupou Simeti (left), one of the new arrivals, receives the traditional welcome from Mrs Tura Hira, and it's all a source of wonder to little Kaloline Timena.
