Video: Moko Tattoos - New Zealand
Author: j
Description: Aug 2003Renewed interest in Maori culture has encouraged a resurgence in traditional Maori tattoos.The tattoos or 'mokos' originate back to pre-colonial times when they detailed ancestry lines and tribal affiliations. "It's the art of kings," states moko artist Inya Taylor. To take the pain of the moko is a defining moment in a young warrior's life. As one Maori explains: "If it doesn't look reall...

yes i agree. what youve said is correct only its not the only stressor. there are a multitude of subtle social factors aswell. rich/poor attractive/unattractive smart/dumb. these factors may not cost a person their life, but they are certainly evolving into a genetic underclass. eventually when times become very hard even in western countries, these people will suffer and die and have difficulty reproducing. the "thouroughbred" humans will get through due to their gentic advantage.

In everyday life, humans are not killed or eaten by other animals; most likely killed by another human. Most other animals are chased, preyed upon and killed by multiple other animals. Back in Africa, this preditation by other animals acceralted human evolution; todday, the selective killing of humans by other humans is the only evolutionary stressor making genteic selection on the human population.

well you should look into it. you'll find most species kills others within its own species sometimes. humans killing one another is all for power lands and control. total domination. a lion overpowers another male lion and moves in on its victims family. he firstly kills the other lions cubs and then mates with the female himself. this is his instinct to continue his own genetic line, our behaviour is an exagerated version of this. warlords and presidents, fighting for power, land and pussy.

But, in the modern world humans are not in competition with or preyed upon by other animals - they selectively kill each other. Ants', monkeys, lizards and fish for the most part are preyed upon by other animals that select them for survivability. I take that back, I think sharks are the only other species that self preditate - I'll have to look into that!

> tubestick00 said on 11-13-2009 at 08:18:
also, we are not the only species that self predetates (if thats even a word) at all. from ants to monkeys to lizard and fish. almost all animals on earth compete against their own species constantly for power and mating rights. this is how evolution works. the superior animals out perform their peers and mate more successfully and the others become genetic dead ends. trouble is we keep the inferior genetic lines going with medicine nowdays so the world is overpopulated with sick inferior humans

now now. your starting to talk rubbish. there was no genecide perpetrated against the maori by white man. you should be thankful it wasnt the spanish that arrived here or youd have been slaughtered. the only genecide in the history of new zealand was perpetrated by maori against the original true natives to nz. they were slaughtered upon the maori's arrival here. so you cant complain because the tables were turned on you. stop dwelling on the past and look to your future.

Being at the top of the food chain, humans are the only species that self predatate - its part of evolution. In closed eco-systems, the small islands violent conflict is how that is manifest. BTW, Europe had the same kind of violent tribal confects too - watch Braveheart.

The point is that colonialism didn't have to have the genocide component and the effect of destroying native cultures around the world. Most of the modern medical technologies you talk about happen within the last 100 years. Its the displacement rather than people co-existence and melding that is the issue.

> tubestick00 said on 11-11-2009 at 09:07:
whats your point? your comment doesnt make sense. when your sick where do you go? hospitals run by white people on a long history of white mans science to offer you cutting edge medical care. whos medicines do you take when you break your leg and the bone sticks through the skin? how can you even challenge the white maqns system when you take advantage of it and rely on it. you cant have your cake and eat it too. nz is the best place to live in the world and you should be glad we came here

> linuxguru1968 said on 11-11-2009 at 05:25:
Force is not necessary, the deadly 500 year tragedy of European colonialism is coming to an end. Native culture all around the world coming back. The time is coming when native culture will dominate the world again. We are better than them; we survive by our genes, culture and intelligence. Europeans have only technology and genocide. We cannot treat their descendants the way they treated our descendants.

If you go around your house and look at all of the technological artifacts laying around, with the exception of noodles, paper and gun powder - none were invented in China, India or the Middle East. Most of the modern technology was invented in Europe and America: industry, cars, telephones, tubes, transistors, microchips, microprocessor, computer and Internet.

actually africans are the biggest killer of africans. and the most brutal. the japs sided with hitler. they lost the war along with him. maori do speak intelligently about their history. sometimes. you really think european colonisers are any worse than anyone else? its all human nature. all cultures have commited atrocities mate. the chinese! africans! arabs?! turks? come on the list is endless. how about you start talking intelligently about something. that would be a start

> TruthandJustice101 said on 10-19-2009 at 04:11:
@tubestick I'm talking about Maori reclaiming their identity as the ONLY owners of "New Zealand" and speaking more intelligently about their history and the crimes of European colonizers.The fact that Europeans are the greatest killers of Jews, Africans, "Native Americans", etc than anyone else in human history.Changing the NARRATIVE is more powerful than an arsenal of missles.

> TruthandJustice101 said on 10-19-2009 at 04:08:
@tubestick RE: violenceNo, violence would be a sure-fire way for complete annihilation. What I am talking about is CULTURAL warfare. Calling out the European colonizer's and their fradulent history of being civilized...their fraudulent claim to inventions before 1500 AD (most of technology came from Middle East and China prior to 1500)...

> tubestick00 said on 10-18-2009 at 08:53:
are you suggesting that maori could take back nz by force? its ridiculous. even the ruthless warriors that were the ancestors of modern maori couldnt cause a fuss for the all mighty white empire. whitey owns this planet even though we are a minority in the world as far as our numbers.

> tubestick00 said on 10-18-2009 at 08:49:
wow truth and justice you dont understand the situation at all.maori men were feirce warriors, who lived violently constantly at war with one another over land power and women. (sounds familiar) what you need to recognise is that the "warrior culure" you speak of, no longer applies in modern life. its no longer relevant. your a fucken idiot.

> JungleDom said on 10-16-2009 at 00:00:
They are friendly people and there's nothing wrong with sharing land since they're not oppresed or anything. They don't have to be ignorant fucks like the middle eastern people and blacks in america you fucking sand nigger. Globalisation will get rid of scum like you one day.

its good to hear your cherokee clans are bringing back their traditional patterns. its interesting to note that whiteman liked to copy our arts of tattooing but make us feel like a criminal gangsta for wearing our traditional ones. does the cherokee have facial tattoos?

> SofaMan1000 said on 10-10-2009 at 08:48:
Moko shows that aswell. It shows what family you belong to, what your abilities are both mentally, physically and spiritually, it shows your life experiences and what you have achived as a result, it also shows what tribe you belong to - but if you are familiar with ta moko the design styles itself will show you what tribe you belong to anyway.
