Tattooed history : the story of mokomokai / Robert K. Paterson. by Paterson, Robert K., 1946- [Place of publication not identified] : 5 Continents Editions, [2021] Subjects Māori (New Zealand people) -- History.   Tattooing -- History.

Requests:  0 Summary:  Tattooed History: The Story of Mokomokai' is the first book to comprehensively explore the history of these remarkable Maori ancestors. The elaborate facial markings (ta moko) of the Maori are well-known, but less so is the unique process of preserving the tattooed heads of both enemies and loved ones. This work presents many sources, documents and illustrations for the first time to explore its subject in a new and original way. Mokomokai were first encountered by Europeans during the exploration of New Zealand by James Cook. When missionaries, traders and other visitors learnt more about mokomokai they published the first descriptions of how they were preserved and the customs surrounding them. This book examines these early nineteenth century writings and describes how mokomokai were first exhibited to curious foreign onlookers around the same time. The acquisition of mokomokai by outsiders, often in exchange for weapons, is discussed along with how these heads formed part of the earliest collections of museums and other institutions.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H 391.65 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library R -- Hawaiian & Pacific H 391.65 Pa Non Circulating Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 391.65 Paterson Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 391.65 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 391.65 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 391.65 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waialua Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 391.65 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
