Can non maori have moko without insulting Maori?

The purpose of a moko was to set apart one as being of a certain age or experience. Usually reserved for those who may have completed feats of considerable value for the whanau, hapu or iwi, moko are like qualifications telling you of where you get your authority (which comes from whakapapa or hitori) which are in the moko. For non-maori to have a moko usually means that those non-maori have performed feats of considerable value for the whanau, hapu or iwi and since being a tohu (or artform with Maori roots) implies that the feats were done for Maori whanau, hapu and iwi. If this is the case, then nonmaori will usually have it done by those who have considerable stance in the whanau, hapu and iwi and also be supported by those who have considerable stance in the whanau, hapu and iwi. If this is not the case and the nonmaori has gone to the local tattoo parlour with a young fledging artist of Maori descent, then you might be considered a red-ochre chief, with all the dress and signs of one deserving a moko, yet not entitled to it. Anyone can print off a passport with the right gear, but unless it has the authority behind it, it is considered a serious crime and an insult to the authority that is the New Zealand Government. Would it be any less (because it is a Maori artform) of an insult if someone did a moko without the authority let alone the permission from the owners of that artform, let alone a good enough reason? By the way, moko is also short for mokopuna which is grandchild. Anybody, maori or nonmaori, is entitled to plenty of these!


Does every marae have the same kawa?

No, each marae can have its own unique set of kawa, which are the protocols and customs that govern behavior and ceremonies on the marae. These kawa are often influenced by the iwi (tribe) and hapu (sub-tribe) associated with the marae, as well as its historical and cultural traditions.


The maori word for nation or tribe?

The maori word for nation or tribe is 'Iwi'. Iwi are derived from the great waka (canoe)by which they arrived in New Zealand from Hawaiki; for example the Tainui Iwi of Waikato and the King country are descendants of people who journeyed to Aotearoa (NZ) on the Tainui canoe. Iwi are divided into tribes and sub-tribes (hapu) and extended family groups (whanau). Tangata whenua is a name Maori use to describe themselves which simply means 'people of the land'.
