Matahi Brightwell
- ... that Matahi Brightwell (pictured) introduced the waka ama (outrigger canoe racing) sport to New Zealand?
- Source: [1] "Mr Brightwell was made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for starting waka ama in Aotearoa, a sport he picked up – along with his name and his wife Raipoia – while he was building the ocean-going waka Hawaikinui in Tahiti."
- ALT1: ... that Matahi Brightwell (pictured) left the eyes of Ngātoro-i-rangi blank? Source: [2] "When Mr Brightwell created Ngatoroirangi, he was so upset by the negativity that he left the sculpture's eyes blank."

- Comment: Welcome any suggestions for alternative hooks or improvements to the hook or article. There's also a free picture of the Ngātoro-i-rangi sculpture (currently in the article) that could be used as an alternative to the picture of Brightwell, although I'm not sure it'll show up well at 100x100.

Article is long enough and created a day day before DYK nom. Article is well-sourced, presentable, and free from copyvio. QPQ done. Hooks are both interesting; personally, I think ALT0 works better from a DYK perspective as it's more accessible to someone who doesn't know what Ngatoroirangi is. Image meets criteria. Thank you for your nomination Chocmilk03! Kimikel (talk) 22:43, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
