Playboy model's nude shoot on Mt Taranaki angers Maori
Model Jaylene Cook posted the picture on her Instagram page.
Her bold step made local Maori community upset.
The community considers the mountain as sacred.
"It's like someone went into St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican and took a nude photo," Dennis Ngawhare, a spokesperson for the local Maori tribe, told the BBC.
"It's a sacred place and something like this is just very inappropriate," Dennis Ngawhare said.
