Maori Ta Moko - George Nuku

Front of the Box Production winners of the Qantas Media Awards for Best Television Dococumentary 'Gang Girls'
Taken from the documentary 'Ta Moko' directed by Kim Webby.

"Ta Moko" takes viewers on a personal journey through the moko process.

Ta Moko also follows the revival of the ancient process of moko using uhi, bone chisels, as it was done in the days of old. Auckland moko artist, Turumakina Duleyz, is bringing back this ancient process by using uhi on the face of artist George Nuku. As the documentary shows, it is a process of trial and error with potentially dire consequences.

At the heart of "Ta Moko" is an appraisal of the ta moko renaissance, ten years after it began and the current mainstreaming of a once mysterious practice.Ta Moko is an exploration of the current place of moko in Aotearoa and attitudes toward the revival of this ancient practice.

I am Nga Puhi and I feel that no one has the right to ask anyone of their actions towards getting Moko. I agree with what you say. A small part of earning moko is enduring it I beleive. If you can't handle it, you deal with the humiliation of bearing an unfinished story. Not all share the opinion of CKyzOnLy. I am due to start my journey soon with full body moko, and I look forward to learning more of my whakapapa.

@Nazisympathiser Why don't you follow your leader by shooting yourself in the head and having your friends burn your body. You and the entire Nazi party are little fucks that deserve to be skull fucked by Satan until you're unrecognizable

@TheKuween1 Hey My Brother, who cares what tribe we are from, I am Nga Puhi, but i dont believe all of us have the same view. In fact I will be even more precise, I am A Proud Maori! I dont get in too all that tribal conflict, its just a real downer. However some people do spoil it, and paint a picture of a fake way of life as a maori. particularly Bikie Gangs, they dont believe in tradition they believe in making money and trying to be better than the other gang. anyway kia kaha! :)
