every culture in the world has changed since the 1700’s nations have come and gone, every culture in the world has changed. Maori culture is still maori culture. at no time have maori been without a culture. our culture today is dynamic. we are still trapped in a pakeha world unable to use our true mana, but not for too much longer…
eh, you got great points here cuz…my answer to that is..euro maori? no different from tuhoe kahununu mix…whangai? perhaps if the person wants it..via research?if awarded by a pouako, or tohunga as part of graduation from a maori learning institution.te reo? if you are a maori, lack of reo maori is not an issue.if you are tauiwi, refer to via research…naku noa na
eh? wot? i dont think so there cuz. ripping and slashing? nah cuz… hopefully you are wearing your own unique moko kanohi designed personally by a tohunga. we know who they are. you are honoring their moko by wearing your own. we are nothing but the living faces of our tipuna, we are them, thats our taon ga tukuiho, we have their mana, we have their rakau, we have their expectations and dreams, we have their hopes. i have my own moko kanohi, i wear it on the outside where it’s supposed to b
Anyone can have Moko, who has that right? Is Moko more about self reflection or are you tearing your tupuna’s skin off and wearing it as your own. Which is disrespectful? Moko is about who you are or where you have been & what you have been thru in life, Its not so much about your ancestors as it is you yourself. New Zealand Maori has been ever changing with the times as it must to survive as a culture. What we have now in the form of the culture is nothing compared to what is was pre-european.
oh well youve been taught differently from me. my kuia always told me in order to have a moko u have to have done or are a significant person for yr iwi (deserving part). and because a moko is a sacred right living a life with alcohol n drugs when u have a moko is desrespecting yr tupuna (the life style changes).
What about european maoris? should they get it? what about someone foreign who has been brought up in the culture or adopted by a maori family? What if someone has studied it, and taken on its culture and speaks fluent Te Reo? Do they deserve to have it?
You are only half right, the ‘earning’ part is actually induring it. If you can handle full moko then you deserve to bear it. Do you realise what you have to go through to get one? And you don’t have to make life changes when you get it, if the tattooist beleive that you will change or become it, they will not do it. Thats not what moko is about.
birthright? I am maori, if I get mine done, Im ripping the face off my dead tupuna and slapping it on my own. some may not agree with that.
ta moko is so beautiful.
personally i dont think people who arent Maori should get Mokos or Maori tattoos. I am a maori myself…Each to thier own however if you really want it then do it.
