#KāiTahu musician Ariana Tikao shares the process of receiving her moko kauae in a stunning book out Nov 10. “One of my motivations for this is political, to create more visible support for wāhine with moko kauae thru out #Aotearoa.” Tā moko artist Christine Harvey wants to dispel persistent myth that recipients "must somehow be worthy". "For our ancestors, kauae was normal practice, it would've been unusual to see a naked chin...it wasn’t taonga reserved for older women" https://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/130306246/why-ariana-tikao-wants-you-to-know-exactly-how-she-got-her-moko-kauae

Please don't lump #BarryBrailsford's work in with the "Celtic NZ" fantasies of white supremacist fellowtravelers like Martin Doutre and Kerry Bolton. Brailsford. At no point does Brailsford himself claim #Waitaha were of European origin, and I've personally heard oral history from Māori who say Waitaha are part of their whakapapa. In fact, Waitaha are formally recognized by #KaiTahu as being already present in Te Wai Pounamu when they arrived there, see the display in Toitū museum in Ōtepoti.
