As we come to the end of Cook Islands Language Week we take a look at the Kuki Airani maru πΊ βIn the Cook Islands we call it βmaruβ so that is reclaiming that art form. Because we didnβt have any record of a maru in the Cook Islands but we know that we were heavily tattooβd and women wore it on the legs, so it just made sense that we had a very similar design sense to the βmaluβ of Samoaβ - Therese Mangos on the Cook Islands version of the malu. Taken from episode 5 of the CoconetTV βMarks of Manaβ documentary which looks at the ways that Tatau stories connect all of our Moana cultures & the different forms of these ancient patterns & meanings.
