Cultural Talk: Tatau Across the Pacific

@ Free with Admission and Membership Explore the tradition of tatau (tattoo) across the Pacific Islands, where body marking is more than adornment—it reflects identity, genealogy, and connection to culture. In places like Sāmoa, Tahiti, Hawaiʻi, and Aotearoa, tatau carries deep cultural meaning and responsibility. This talk will highlight the significance, symbolism, and regional differences of tatau, while also touching on the impacts of colonization and the powerful revival of these practices today. Join us to gain a deeper appreciation of tatau as a living expression of heritage and identity across the Pacific.
