First female MP to wear Māori facial tattoo in NZ parliament speaks of her pride – video

Nanaia Mahuta has become the first female MP to wear a MAori facial tattoo in New Zealand Parliament. The traditional chin tattoo also known as moko kauae is given to high-ranking MAori women to reflect their standing and mana, or power, in the community. Mahuta was tattooed with 13 other Maori women who attended the moko kauae wAnanga at Waahi PA in Huntly last weekend
