Oriini Kaipara. New Zealand broadcaster.

[apropositodime]

Ma la bellezza ❤️

Lei è Oriini Kaipara, 37 anni, ed è stata la prima persona nella storia della Nuova Zelanda a condurre il tg con il suo moko kauae, il tradizionale tatuaggio sul mento delle donne Māori.

Il suo tatuaggio celebra il rito di passaggio da giovane donna a donna, e simboleggia il processo personale di trasformazione.

Amo la tradizione e la cultura delle diverse popolazioni❤️

(quando non sono barbare)

This is a small thing in the greater scheme but I’m watching the 6 o’clock news* on TV3 (one of the two main evening news programmes on New Zealand TV) and both the anchors are Māori (Mike McRoberts and Oriini Kaipara) and the anchorwoman has a moko kauae tattoo on her chin. I am just thinking about the change there’s been in my lifetime in terms of Māori representation in the front ranks of television, in authoritative roles. There’s a lot of progress still to be made in terms of inclusion and respect for Māori people and their culture but that’s really neat.

*which I don’t usually do, I read the news online (primarily through credible newspaper/magazine websites), hence me noticing this tonight

This isn’t getting the notes I want so I’m adding a ✨visual aid✨

So this is Oriini Kaipara, a Māori broadcaster. She’s spoken a lot about moko kauae after racists attacked her for it:

And here she is doing kapa haka:

Anyway I think it would be cool if more people add Māori traditions with Ed. Especially fem!Ed

*leans into the mic* ahem. fem!ed with moko kauae

Congratulations to Oriini Kaipara! This is long overdue, and hopefully she will not remain “the only one.”

“Oriini Kaipara made history when she read v 1's midday news bulletin today.

Kaipara has a moko kauae, a traditional lower chin tattoo worn by Māori women, and is the first to appear on a mainstream news bulletin to bear one.

According to TVNZ, this represented the fulfillment of a lifelong dream for Kaipara.

Two years ago, she made headlines when DNA testing revealed that she was "100 per cent Māori." Kaipara is of Tūhoe, Ngāti Awa, Tūwharetoa and Te Arawa descent.”
