Task description: This is post for my literacy class, this post is called Puaki it's about people who have ta moko's on there face and what it means to us New Zealand people. This was in room 1 team 5 block where all the seniors are. And our Literacy teacher is Mrs Moala. I have been doing this for the past few days and weeks.
One of the maori legends because Te Ta moko represents our New Zealand tradition back then because people like to represent the Ta moko as cultural New Zealanders. In each of the boxes are bits of what I know about te ta moko and some reasons of what I think about te ta moko, Old people that are in their 70s,80s and their 90s have them some of them have it done properly and fully but some just have bits of it on their chin.
But I think that the ta moko is some kinda legend about how maori people came to this land or how there were even maori people. My feeling is that all of this has something to do with maori existent or other solutions why.
But here is another thought about te ta moko is that the ta moko is the permanent marking or “tattoo” as traditionally practised by maori.
This is a photo of a person who has a ta moko on their chin and upwards. This screenshot that I have put on just to show you what a ta moko looks like.
