Kotore Huia (Huia bird tail feather/s) (hair-ornaments; Unknown; unknown; Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (Wellington, Welling...; ME022638) | |
Note: Kotore huia (huia bird tail feathers) were worn by rangatira (chiefs) as a sign of rank and status.Huia (Heteralocha acutirostris) and their featherswere symbols of prestige not only for Maori, but also Pakeha (European New Zealanders). Their tail feathers were highly prized, their beaks became a fashionable form of adornment, and stuffed huia were eagerly sought as domestic ornaments. With this lethal popularity, huia became increasingly rare until, after failed attempts at conservation, the last reported sighting wasaround 1920. Huiaare now listed as an extinct species. | |
