maori art
When looking at Maori art, there is one thing that sticks out amongst everything else with me, and with most likely everyone that sees it for the first time, this is their tattooing skills. They are equipped with many other art skills such as their carvings, weaponry, and townhouses, but the tattoos represent the tribe as a whole and are visible on the people themselves. The art of tattoo was brought to New Zealand by the Polynesians when they migrated to New Zealand. ... The fact that the women cannot advance as far as the men shows how that the Maori felt when it came to male dominance over the women. ... There are eight ranks among the Maori and each have their own design. ... Although these tattoos are significant to the Maori, some people may see these tattoos as a way of decorations for barbaric people. ... If one were to see the Maori, they would think that the Maori were either going to war or just returning from a battle.
