Well, do you know both of your parents' names and where they were born? Or your grandparents'? Or if you were adopted you could reach out to the adoption agency or maybe the hospital you were born at for information. You can get records from the county, and start tracing your ancestry back down the line. There may be better online recourses these days for such things too. I know many churches (even in other countries) and genealogical societies upload records and documents, sometimes even photos to the internet these days. They might help you track down what area your family hailed from and then you would be able to look into local customs from there. It's not always an easy journey but it can be very enlightening. I wish you luck on your search and with your cultural healing! 💚🖤💚

Tattoo or Tatau originated by polynesians thousands of years ago. It goes back to ancients days over 2000 yeaqrs ago. Before white came to pacific we used body tattoos, cloth tattoo or tapa cloth with tattoo markings, carvings on timber or stone. Thats what pacific tribes were about. It was a way of remembering and connecting with culture and passing it down generation to generation. Whale tooth bones, bird bones, pig tusk tattoo needles is what we used. As for the ink can come from anything. As for cloth they use the bark from trees which gives a brown colour. They use other methods for colour, plants etc..

A windscreen wiper (Commonwealth English) or windshield wiper (American English) is a device used to remove rain, snow, ice, washer fluid, water, or debris from a vehicle's front window. Almost all motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses, train locomotives, and watercraft with a cabin-and some aircraft-are equipped with one or more such wipers, which are usually a legal requirement. A wiper generally consists of a metal arm; one end pivots, and the other end has a long rubber blade attached to it. The arm is powered by a motor, often an electric motor, although pneumatic power is also used for some vehicles. The blade is swung back and forth over the glass, pushing water, other precipitation, or any other impediments to visibility from its surface. The speed is usually adjustable on vehicles made after 1969, with several continuous rates and often one or more intermittent settings. Most personal automobiles use two synchronized radial-type arms, while many commercial vehicles use one or more pantograph arms.

I was tattood in Bangkok. The whole family was in the room, even kids playing on the floor. It was very natural. Glamourising one's origins only serves the ego, but when we accept our part, our responsibility for our own story, there is where life begins to flourish. When I grew up, close to Auckand city in the 60's, we were all equal, families mixed and blended as has always been our way, meaning we are a blended race of people. We should all take accountability for the good and the bad of our past as nobody is blameless, and this is called 'living'; if ta moko awakens your sense of belonging, feel blessed as some people never find a sense of belonging through anything on this earth. We are all on the same journey, sisters and brothers all of us, not one more special than the other. Give and ye shall receive for God helps those who help themself. That is where the true meaning of belonging lies. My ancestor was the chief of the Tainui canoe and the following Maori Kings. Te Whero Whero, Tawhio etc etc.

Love G. Neutral, love these docs. One thing I don't agree with is this position of saying that it is insensitive to wear certain tattoos if you don't belong to that culture. You shouldn't just judge based on that pre conceived idea, you don't know why that person is wearing that tattoo., you don't know why they've done them. Yes, it is a fact that many people do it because its mainstream, or fashionable and don't even know what they are putting in their skins. But there are also many others, that feel a connection with these ideas, these cultures, these philosophies even if they were not born among them, nor have had the opportunity to visit. In today's world been connected doesn't necessarily been there I think it's beautiful that a low class boy from Peru, started learning about NZ and Maori culture after he watched one All Black match and felt the hakka in his heart and from then a passion grew, and he may never have the opportunity to leave his country, but he feels that connection. And no one should ever judge him for wearing a Moko. Or call him insensitive. We should be better, and embrace instead of criticize. We should accept instead of judge. You NEVER know what is inside a person and is not your place to stomp on them. Live and let live.
