Description

“In receiving my tatau was I guess in a way an eye-opener for me. I knew that I was a part of history in completing my tatau.” Five Sāmoan New Zealanders share what their tatau means to them. ʻUa faʻasoa mai e tagata Sāmoa e toʻalima mai Niu Sila le tāua o le tatau iā i latou. Tokorima ngā uri o Hāmoa nō Aotearoa e kōrero ana mō ā rātou tatau. Part of the exhibition ‘Tatau: Tatau Sāmoa ma ata puʻe | Sāmoan Tattooing and Photography’: https://www.tepapa.nz/tatau
