Te Tā Moko - English

Overview of Key Messages in Texts

Tā Moko explores the reasons why Māori choose to wear moko, as well as the beliefs and practices of moko artists. The need identified by individuals is one of expressing identity, whakapapa, whānau, hapū and iwi relationships.

The moko artists discuss designs and procedures. Working on a living canvas is a skill mastered over many years.

This context is closely related to both Ngā Toi and Tikanga-ā-iwi.
