Pakeha Ta Moko : A History Of The Europeans : A History Of The Europeans Traditionally Tattooed By Maori
Paperback Edition: 1
In Pakeha Ta Moko, author Trevor Bentley examines how the views on Pakeha receiving Moko have changed over the centuries. While today it is generally considered to be taboo, through the 19th century, a Moko on a Pakeha could be a sign of allegiance and belonging.
The book includes specific chapters about some of these Pakeha-Maoris. Men such as John Rutherford, Joshua Mewburn and Barnet Burns are all profiled. Based on in-depth research and interviews this book tells the story of an important part of early New Zealand history.
