Maori Woman With Face Tattoo Is 1st to Anchor Primetime News
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- A New Zealand woman made history on Christmas Day, becoming the first person with a Maori face tattoo to anchor a primetime newscast. Oriini Kaipara has been a journalist for almost 20 years, focusing on issues of the country’s indigenous Maori people. In 2019, she chose to get moko kauae, a traditional face tattoo for Maori women. That’s when she became the first person with such a tattoo to anchor a mainstream television program. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.
Badass. It's her culture. Not hurting anyone. Let her do her thing.
Well that is what they're doing
That’s what she’s doing though 💀💀
Is noice
True badass! She is so beautiful too! It’s also awesome that she is proud of who she is and where she came from.
Regardless of the tattoo (Unless it’s offensive) people should be able to do their thing. This is a great step forward though. Proud of her.
Fair play to her in getting an tattoo that represents her culture whilst having a job in an international business revolving around the news.
Happy new year folks.
I love this . Its time society starts to stop being so judgmental towards people for dumb reasons .
@@MarioMartinez-tt9ly I'm with ya.
@@anareaforakinglikeme3029 Happy New Year to you as well.
@@MarioMartinez-tt9ly this will never happen again watch
Shouldn't even be controversial. This is HER country and land, not the colonizers. Of course she should be able represent her people and culture. I love it.
Yea it’s not a gang tattoo
I agree
It is not her country
Exactly 💯
@@bootscooty technically it is her country because she’s a native from New Zeland
@@mayu5646 well then technically if you're white and from New Zealand then it's your country. So all technicalities aside, I think what you're trying to say is that the people she descended from came to the land before the white people came to the land.
Returning indigenous peoples to the respect that humans deserve is long overdue and nice to see.
She’s beautiful, and respect to her preserving her culture, that’s dope.
@Hispanic Causin' Panic 3.0 time to learn to respect other cultures and appreciate the beauty in them
@@user-jt7kn8sc5d time to dont respect inferior cultures, and traditions who invoke demons and discriminantes women.
@@user-jt7kn8sc5d She was beautiful before the tattoo. A smoke show in fact. But she could get a part in the next Grudge or Ring movie. Ya know, because she looks gd horrifying. No one is asking where this tribal tradition came from either. Probably, most likely it was a form of subjugation in a male dominated society. Ironically, just like today. Pacific Islander tribes had slaves and tattooed them to show ownership. Tattooed them under the eyelid in fact. Just because it's ancient and exotic doesn't mean it's a good decision or being woke. Time for everyone to take a world history course and watch a documentary instead of Bravo or the news.
@Hispanic Causin' Panic 3.0 nobody asked you and she didn’t do it for you. lol
@Hispanic Causin' Panic 3.0 lol you probably have an unscrubbed black neck 🤣😂
That’s great to see people trying to keep a culture going. It’s even better to see her be able to represent her culture in a way on the news.
Yes, better to see her do that on the news. She looks so much better now!!
trust me (Newshub) her job is so racists towards the Maori and Pacific Islander people
@@dingalingling34 That’s so sad.
Unless its anything caucasian/european.....then those cultures all must go lately
Personally I think we need to come together. Division has caused so much divisiveness. People no longer get along like the used to
She's gorgeous and a true hero for doing all she can for her culture. I have nothing but love and respect for her and anyone who is like this.
Hero?
"hero" for getting a super ugly tattoo on the face. yup I think that word has lost all meaning

This is so cool. I would NEVER get a tattoo, but I'm not against them either. For her is a culture thing. I'm glad she didn't get discriminated for wanting to represent who she is.
I am so happy she was not outcasted for doing it in 2019 so recently
If she wasnt discriminated against before, she will be now. What a bad decision.
@@nadaproblem3023 if we don't do things in our culture because of discrimination and never strive to change or challenge it then that's just sad

@@nadaproblem3023 why? She's not in the US.
@@justkerry173 really? You're a bright one. Yea discrimination only happens in the US, where Hollywood invented woke culture, not in the starkly conservative autocracies around the world.
Stunning, beautiful.. Her peoples land, culture, we need more off these awesome natives in mainstream. You go girl..
Traditional doesn´t mean good or beautiful. Most of the times it´s a bad thing. Like some "traditional" cutting of certain parts of human body.
I'm glad her professionalism matters over her appearance and her culture is respected at her job.
Well said !
I think the professional decision would have been to NOT get a face tattoo if you're a beautiful news anchor. Wtf.
@@nadaproblem3023 it's your OPINION through your cultures eyes that think she's not beautiful with the tattoo. However, her culture deems the tattoo as a status of beauty.
@@nadaproblem3023 it’s to preserve tradition, it’s great to see the Māori trying to preserve their traditions, their culture, especially now.
@@NewHollowEarth No.
It's just a way of getting attention. There's millions of idiots who do horrible things to their body for attention. To think of themselves, as some how different.
Cool. I love the Māori and their culture. Glad to see it!
That culture is so friendly and protective :)
She look like a She-Thanos.
Good food too
I'm so proud of this. So proud
Ive always envied Pacific Islander tattoos. They’re incredible.
Damn I didn’t know about these people and because of her, I now know much more about her heritage, it served the purpose wonderfully.
I’m from New Zealand & have Māori blood in me. It’s sad that too many around the world still don’t know about New Zealand (Aotearoa) & my people in the 21st century! Just crazy. Please really do check us out. For one fact, our population is 5,126,040. Enjoy doing your research
Your gonna forget this sh in 2 weeks 😭
@@aliraeofsunshine9566 You’re culture is very interesting and profound. I started researching it months ago after seeing a video of the ceremonial dance Haka. It gave me goosebumps just to feel how powerful it is.
You’ll forget about it in 48 hours
Ikr....
My coworker’s mother-in-law has that tattoo. She married a Māori and I saw her mother in law a few times at work before moving back to New Zealand. Another accomplishment for humanity! Check ✅
My mother's coworker's son knows his best friend who has a niece, who has a friend that their mother who was raised by her step mum, who also had a daughter of her own, is friends with a guy who saw a random woman on the street with that tattoo. Humanity check ✅
Dumbassery ensues
Accomplishment for humanity?
Damn we've fallen fallen aye?
I'd say creating a light blub or finding a way for multiple ways of transportation for humans would be accomplishments for humanity, not putting a tattoo on my face for cultural purposes...

She's not the first person on television to wear a moko Kauai there's been alot before her we have politicians who have full face Moko Tattoos. She's just the first Maori news presenter to wear one.

@@phopcorn5114 its algood we even have police with them now they cant discriminate causes of your cultural beliefs anymore.But we still have alot off racism against thoses that wear the Moko from some white New Zealanders.
@@peterteohaere4986 I’m glad that there’s serious repercussions for the ignorant and I hope her being on prime time TV helps some of those with old mindsets 🤎
THIS is what inclusion looks like. Congrats to her.
Absolutely.
legendary. justice for all indigenous cultures across the globe!
Everyone is indigenous to somewhere
Every one should be proud of their origines.
Yes, indigenous Europeans need their racial homelands back from invading black African, Arab, South American and Asian colonialists.
How is this justice for the millions of lives taken
Unless your name is Adam or eve you’re on stolen land
Looked like a beard at first..... props to her for supporting her family and culture
Nobody is going to take her seriously
Awesome to see and hear the "Inside Edition" anchor deliver and pronounce the Maori vocab perfectly. "Tē Reō" is not easy to pick up. Very proud of my Maori people and more proud that its being embraced around the world on the media platform. Thankyou 💯🙌🏾💫
Never heard of your tribe. Need to educate myself more. Beautiful people.
I thought the same thing about her pronunciation of Maori words..well done her👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Do you guys have written language?
@@vasyllubenets8985 yes bro
Fun fact, there is a metal band named Alien Weaponry, they do Māori chants and sing in the Māori language. As a way to keep the language alive and to spread awareness to the culture

@@maryagyemang9870 its very cool. Unlike you.
Pretty cool. Appreciate sharing this info. Fixing to check them out next.
You go, girllll!!!!! Way to display your pride for your roofs. This shouldn’t be deemed controversial.
I’m curious do we point out when a news anchor is wearing a turban, hijab, or any other religious or cultural attire, markings, etc… I don’t get what’s the big deal. Congrats to her being a good news anchor, representing and celebrating her culture, but this day in age if seems a little token to mention it.
Absolutely proud of her for making strides in representing her culture and keep her traditions alive!
why would you be "proud" you don't know her and have nothing to do with her
@@gfuentes8449 I don’t have to. We should be uplifting to one another.
I mean, they say discrimination is illegal, so my real question is, why is she the first? This looks like it's a for real tribal or heritage tattoo by where it's placed. Honestly, it's beautiful. She's beautiful and obviously very proud of her heritage and ancestors, something we should be as well.
@jerichorayel they must not have been paying attention!!
A lot of jobs can turn you away for having visible tattoos since it’s a choice to get the tattoo. A lot of professionals that do have tattoos end up having to cover them, whether it be with clothing or makeup. Glad this woman though wasn’t turned away and is able to show he tattoo proudly.
I mean most people don't do it for culture.
FAX
@@discopanda8745 lots of sports players cover them up for TV..
So proud of you girl!! Such a Badass for sure!! Represent loud and proud! We hear you, we see you!! This speaks volumes on so many levels and it's about time they let this shine! Very awesome indeed!! ❤🌹🥰🙏🏾🌻
LOL.
Being Venezuelan I am aware I'm not fully Spanish, not indigenous and not African. I am a mixture of it all. Eventhough, genetically I am mostly Spanish, culturally I am all three; a mixture. So, I embrace my mixture and accept it.
There is a big difference between indigenous cultural tattoo and teardrops and AKs over the eyebrows lol
That is exactly right
That part! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Agreed. We all know what the teardrop means
I'm not a tattoo loving person ...but her face didn't get her the chair...her talent got her the chair... only a few can do both with style and professional appearance... she holds her own very well
She is attractive that's why she got the position. If she looked like Susan Boyle she'd be on radio
I think she should have been fired!!!!! She is representing the News not her or her culture.
I’m Mexican & I applaud her….mad respect. She’s beautiful. 🙌🏽❤️🔥✊🏽🙏🏽

We indigenous people from all over the world need representation and respect.

Being able to embrace one's cultural roots makes one feel far more empowered.
If people were able to feel more comfortable with themselves, they'd be more compassionate towards others.
That would make things far more civil in this world.
Shes beautiful ,a proud representative of her culture
east or west this tattoo anchor girl is the best of the best.
Oh yeah this looks so mature let's move backwards in life
Good for her! She's not scared to show who she is. She's not hurting anyone and she's representing her culture
Ah yes... representing her culture by getting a super ugly tattoo on the face. yuck 🤮, I would gtfo of that culture if I was her
I must say, at least her tattoo is a true representation of her belonging to a historic tribe versus just a tat.

Everything historic she’s not special
@@daddydiesel7177 I didn't say she was "special"
But as An American If I’d say my culture is guns I’d quickly become controversial

The tattoo alone is not a big deal. But seeing that tattoo on a professionally dressed woman giving a news report is giving me futuristic vibes for some reason.
My first though: cyberpunk vibes(not talking about the videogame)

Except for white people, their cultures need heavy suppression. Amirite?

@@alexsmith1207
Elaborate? Oh really what? I made two separate statements.
@@EnterpriseNCC-1701 Well since you didn't elaborate and I was wondering what you meant by New Zealand considering it acceptable; Sending a New Zealand diary company Frontera they told me this: applying for a job with someone who had a tattoo can be unprofessional (depending on the tattoo) and less likely to get in, but it's against the New Zealand law if the tattoo alone is considered for not choosing him/she for the job. It's also against our rules and New Zealand policy if he/she comes from a cultural/group background.
So tattoos can be acceptable all over the world and more if you come from a cultural standpoint which makes a lot more sense.
still wouldn’t want my doctor to walk into the room with face tats 😂
