    They do theirs like we used to do ours in the Southeast, except the designs have more swirls. Our Cherokee patterns are coming back, and I’m glad you kept yours in NZ too :D A Cherokee one shows what clan you come from.

    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.
