Hey, who's against the fact that I'm allowed to carry as blonde with European ancestors the Maori Taiaha. When I was a man, no one was upset about it when I joined the Haka with a short apron and naked torso. What's different just because I have boobs?

“I come from the Māori nation of New Zealand, the Indigenous people — we’re the Down Under Polynesians — and I wanted to bring that kind of spirit and energy, which we call wairua. I’ve been trained in my cultural dance, which we call the haka. I’ve also been trained in some of our weapons, so that’s how I was able to manipulate some of the weapons in my fight scenes and work with the gaffi stick, which my character has.”

Maori Weapons

This is my first attempt at carving (study) a Maori taiaha head, whahaika end and a Paracord whip making a hybrid weapon. I always had a deep appreciation for Maori arts, tools and weaponry. I am trying to incorporate the artistic lines fluency into some of North Eastern American tribal warclubs into my work. #taiaha #handprinted #ancientweapons #tribalarts #linocut #whahaika #bushwacker #weapons #tribalweapons #primitive #printbyhand #bushcraft #handmade #woodclub #nativeweapons #indigenousart #buffaloart #printmakingart #linocutprint #carvingtribes #contemporaryartist #carvingwood #carving #tribe #warclubs #linoprint #tomahawk #warclub #woodcutprint (at Niagara Falls, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7uuVktlrns/?igshid=25p5puppetp3
