N. Zealand recovers severed Maori heads from France

23.05.12

PARIS — In a ceremony where music and singing mingled with calls to the spirit of the ancestors, New Zealand recovered 20 mummified Maori heads Monday that had been held in French museums for nearly two centuries.

"You are the breath of life, you, our forefathers," Derek Lardelli, a Maori elder, intoned at a packed ceremony at the Quai Branly in Paris.

"You have been in France so long," Lardelli said in Maori. "Today we will be able to bring you home, to Aotearoa," he said, using the Maori name for New Zealand meaning "The Land of the Long White Cloud".

The handover brought together French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand, New Zealand's ambassador to France, Rosemary Banks, and experts from French museums and Te Papa, the museum of New Zealand culture in Wellington.

The story of the heads dates back to the early exploration of New Zealand by Europeans in the 18th century.

Maori warriors tattoed their faces with elaborate designs that reflected their rank.
