View of a group of Cook Islands Maori men sitting by an upturned rowboat beside a body of water. More men are standing beside and on the verandah of a large wooden building situated in front of native forest and a peak. There are several smaller buildings adjacent, all constructed in a European style. An unmanned rowboat is floating on the water.
