My new understanding of the Tā Moko is “Ta Moko” means tattoo art in Maori. Often these tattoos covered the whole face and were a symbol of rank, social status, power and prestige for the Maori people. Ta Moko is a visual language which connects the person who has it to his “whakapapa”.
Task Description: For this task I had to read a book about people and what the Moko meant to them as Maori's. After I read the book, I had to write some facts down or things they said that interested me in the book. After everything was finished we had to write a new understanding about Moko's and what they meant.
Hi Jacob! It's great to see you working so hard form home this week. One way you can fix your blog post is by only copying your synthesis paragraph and posting that on your blog. This was the instructions given on the bottom of the Google Doc that you were working from. Have you ever seen a Tā Moko in person? Do you know anyone that has one?
