Incident captured on video shows men, who did not appear to be Māori, in ‘grass’ skirts with black markings on their faces

The incident, in the Port of Tauranga on Monday morning, was captured on video and showed a group of men, who did not appear to be Māori, dancing in “grass” skirts with black markings drawn on their faces and bodies. One of the ship’s photographers captured the moment.
