Tagata Pasifika Tatau Special

Su’a Suluape Petelo Alaiva’a performs a full male tatau (pe’a) on Pacific Studies student Falaniko Tominiko as part of a University of Auckland Preserving Pacific Knowledge project. The documentary goes beyond the ink and the markings to explore how tatau is one path for many journeys.
