Imported from The Netherlands (in English)

In recent years a massive rebirth of Maori cultural identity has been in full bloom and moko is an important part of this renaissance.
This book aims to inform individuals who are seeking their passage with moko. Each person featured in the book tells their own story, explaining what influenced them to wanting a moko, what it means to them, and how long it took to do each moko. The people who appear in Dedicated by Blood are all kaupapa driven and do not consider their moko to be a look, but a lifestyle choice. Published by Hunter Media, 2003. Hardback, 12 x 9 1/2, 110 pages and includes color and black & white photographs.
