A wood carver working on a Maori carving at the Carving school at Te Puia Maori arts and crafts Institute near Rotorua on North Island in New Zealand. With the possible loss of traditional Māori arts, the Carving school was established to safeguard and continue the tradition in a location well-established for traditional Māori arts and crafts. The Carving school at Whakarewarewa enabled easy access to the lucrative tourist market, which continues to be a substantial source of sales.
