When I was a kid, sixty five years ago, growing up in South Canterbury, we used to sometimes visit this area to see the drawings. No one outside of the farm really knew of the existence of these drawings. No one cared! Now look. I really think local Maori were oblivious of these markings. Are they Maori??. Interestingly, when I worked on the Chatham Island these markings were quite similar to the Moriori ones I saw there. Suddenly now, every man and his dog wants to venerate these "then dark" hardly visible carbon markings on a "clay?" wall in South Canterbury.

Agreed. Not maori

This is history!
Thank you👍.. this is a gem for all Kiwi's and I am glad it is fenced off but is it Maori who did this ? 🇳🇿
This art has more in common with melanesian style art than maori art.
Chur love this! This needs to be made more public in NZ our people were amazing
