This image comes from the beginning of in Pursuit of Venus [infected]. It is a rare moment before Europeans arrives. Omai and Obeera are plotting, deciding what they would say to the Queen of England. A group of Hawaiians perform a hula, the Kumu Hula chants, beatahing a rhythm on the drum. Two chiefs are in animated discussion, attended by a woman who fans them. These activities demonstrate culture and practice.
