Whānau and friends celebrating at a kapa haka festival is this year's Google Doodle in honour of Waitangi Day.
Ōtautahi/Christchurch's Māui Studios Aotearoa, who designed the doodle, hopes people see it as a symbol of kotahitanga (unity), a representation of what we can do when we work together.
For the first 'G' in Google, a father figure holds his child's manu kōrero (public speaking) trophy.
"The two 'O' are represented by a young kōtiro (girl), she's practising poi which is a cultural practice - a part of kapa haka," said Vincent Egan, chief executive at Māui Studios Aotearoa.
The little boy at the front represents the legendary figure of Māui Tikitiki-a-Taranga, also known as Māui, and his cheekiness. Then a swirl depicts the wairua (spirituality) of other cultures embracing New Zealand's cultural values. The 'L' is represented by a tamatoa (young warrior) performing the wero.
Egan told Newshub: "The last 'E' is a Pasifika aunty, and she's a representative of the hearty aunty types we have, but she's also entrepreneurial and she is the beating heart of the different events that we participate in."
Events like a kapa haka festival, which Māui Studios Aotearoa has chosen for this year's Google Doodle, honouring Waitangi Day.
"I hope that when people see this illustration, this tohu, it's a symbol of kotahitanga or unity; a representation of New Zealand and the amazing things we can do when we can work together," said Egan.
A team of up to 15 people spent as many as 100 hours working on the design.
"The knowledge, the amount of work that's gone into a piece like this. It's researching and the different symbols - there's so many different things that are involved with a piece like this."
And now it can be viewed by anyone around the world for years to come.
