Ruahine: Stories In Her Skin
To receive a moko kauae is to assert a
Māori woman’s birthright and identity
while celebrating the mana of her
whakapapa. In Māori tradition, the
head is considered the most tapu part
of the human body making the practice
of moko kauae highly prestigious and
exclusive to Māori women
