Six years later, his project of carving traditional panels for a vast church interior his opposition from the missionaries who were elsewhere busy doing their best to destroy all evidence of Polynesian visual culture.
Six years later, his project of carving traditional panels for a vast church interior his opposition from the missionaries who were elsewhere busy doing their best to destroy all evidence of Polynesian visual culture.
