The opportunity to know and connect with the traditions of ancestors is such a precious blessing, especially when it was all but stolen by a coloniser that coercively and narcissistically introduced a claimed socio religious tradition as the apex belief system. As a South African, of slave decent (to Cape Town), viewing this video filled me with great admiration, joy and pride that not only has the tradition of ancestors survived the onslaught of colonisation but that is embraced with a deep sense of ownership and pride ......... expressing the legitimate value of spiritual and temporal practices and traditions of human beings have an inherent validity and is worth shared ownership and perpetuation.
Subtitles would've been great, it's so frustrating when a really interesting topic comes up but you can't understand it, wish I could, and absolutely nothing wrong with moku facial tattoos, it's part of their culture!
nah, no subtitles, it ruins the spirit of the experience. The Māori language is precious just like the moko these ladies are carrying. They are not tattoos, they are moko.
@@323v6 - There are many language schools, avenues of learning te reo, online pathways now for everyone to enjoy the journey of learning, comprehending, understanding, and grasping the kōrero in documentaries like this. Documentaries like these will only increase and the rate of increase will amplify exponentially as the younger generations come on line with their aspirations to have their stories expressed in this world. The Reo is there for all to learn … go for it…have a go … get stuck in - it’s never too late to start…one word a day becomes two … then three … then four … soon the waterfall flows and your tongue takes flight as your ears become the marae ātea upon which the Reo falls gently upon the threshold of understanding in Te Ao Mārama.

What is the song in the beginning with the beautiful muaic in the background and the chanting. I am mesmerized by uts beauty and comfort. ❤
Beautifully done. I wish there were captions
