Rituels, guérison et transmission

In the 90s, the resurgence of moko was also encouraged by Kapa Haka (traditional song and dance) shows. Piri Sciscia was the only Kapa Haka performer to wear a real, leg-sized moko (puhoro) on stage. This had a resounding effect in the community, as at the time it was customary for performances to wear make-up on the motifs. In discovering the meaning of puhoro, we'll see that originally, both men and women wore it, and there were many female warriors.
