Interview with David Bishop about the boat Aotearoa one and being a crew member by Yvonne Hynson




Yvonne Hynson (Interviewer): This is down in the Maritime Museum...the other side….in Auckland.  (First view of the waka from the wharf.  You can see the Maori carved figures at the back.)
What about these two guys on the front?
David:  Yes.
YH:  They got names?
David:  Yes.  Left and right.
YH:  Left and right?  (Laughs)  (Background conversation too difficult to hear.)  Why do they look as if they are about to dive in?
David:  Oh, that’s all part of ancient tradition.  Ancient tradition.  The exact significance I’m not sure …but arh… they seem to have come off an old war canoe.
YH:  An old war canoe? 
David:  Yeah. 
YH: Both ends?
David:  Yeah. 
YH: But you put them both at the front.
David:  Yeah and then the learning part is at the back.  The symbolism is a little bit…. Needs revisiting….
YH:  OK David, how did you get involved in this project?  (Laughs)
David: Oh, it wasn’t difficult.  There was promise of a… arh flight to the Cook Islands and some sailing on one slightly smaller boat and that was part of a course called the  Kaihoi waka course.  (YH: Oh cool.)
David: From Te Waananga o Aotearoa.  An um I did the course, got the trip to the Cook Islands.  I got a certificate.  I had the opportunity to become a crew member.  Then I begged.
YH: OK.
David: Hehehehe.  And then I became a crew member.  So there you go.
