I often look at the photographs, like these, taken of the workers, the "kanaka's" and wonder if any of them really understood what was going on..I doubt if they ever saw the result of what was captured on that day ..I find myself studying their fine-looking faces and wonder who they are.

This image is of a Group of workers in front of the Managers House, Macknade Plantation, Ingham. The year was 1881.
