The face tattoo's = Ta Moko. The Men have a FULL FACE Ta Moko. Where as the Women's are only Lips & and chin area.
They tell the history of that person's line thru generations.
In the past the tattoo's were done using a chisel and chiselling into face and and the ink applied

Thank you for the information!!!

[@jaiwatarawi2294]

I’m so

[@zealantis]

its actually called a Mataora. Ta Moko is usually referred to as the tattooing process itself, that is why our tattooist are called Kaita because they Ta the Moko into your skin.

The hand trembling gestures are called wiri. It symbolises the rhythms of life. Like the shimmering ocean, or leaves blowing in the wind.

[@kinasandwich7624]

The shaking hands "Wiri" is the Vibration of life.

Loved your take on kapa haka I'm maori and appreciate what you felt from that performance and how you described it as stroy telling 👏 without breaking it down you where spot on in a way

[@zealantis]

there are many Maaori competitions in NZ, all the tribes around nz create kapahaka (performing groups) to compete in these competitions bc performing is one of our most ancient traditions, we would perform to people on special occasions. when visitors are getting them a plate of food or entering the wharekai (kitchen/eating house) a group of people who are from that marae will sing songs for them until they have gotten their plates. alot of schools create kapa aswell and maaori can join their schools kapa aswell as their tribes kapa to perform at these competitions, this is just one of the performances, Te Matatini is for teenagers and adults and is for the best kapa of these competitions around the country, its basically the finale of all comps. Mana Kuratahi is the kids version of Te Matatini and has kids performing and displaying their skills.

two of my mokopuna (grandchildren 10yr and 6yr) do Kapa Haka at their schools and it warms my heart watching them.

The shaking hands can symbolise heat rising off the road or light shimmering on the water to leaves moving in a light breeze.
A way of connecting to spirit (wairua)

[@temanulee1471]

some believe it is to acknowledge you are alive, because if you're dead, you wont move lol.

[@tetuhi9789]

Hands shaking represents life's ❤

[@fukyupig4713]

secondary schools are good and all but watch a te matatini group high caliber performances

[@JaemanEdwards]

The singing in Matatini sucks. They all sound like their trying to be opera singers.

[@Paperchaser101]

[@jasonfox6013]
