Houhora

documentary heritage
  • Description

    A pictorial reconstruction of the Houhora village looking south across Rangauni Bay, based on the excavation of part of the village. Fish drying racks are present on which hang snapper preserved during the summer months. Large double-hulled canoes for longer voyages, and single canoes suitable for fishing, are on the beach. Deforestation of the slopes of Mt Camel for firewood and to clear gardening land resulted in landslips evident in the archaeological excavation.
