ON THE WEB
As you might know, I just returned from Aotearoa (New Zealand) so this issues links have a Maori focus.
A great list of links to New Zealand authors, bookstores, libraries & literary sources is at http://www.enzed.com/bk.html There is a lot of Maori literature online! Also check out the list of bookstores at the bottom. There's a LOT of books published in NZ that are near impossible to find in the states, even tattoo books!
There are a lot of Maori arts sites: http://www.aotearoa.co.nz/ for a good list of links to high quality arts & crafts. Also see: http://maoriart.net/, http://www.kiwiartz.co.nz/ , http://www.maori-arts.com/ and http://www.craftdirectory.co.nz/ Boy, I could go on & on... I keep finding more-- http://www.maori-arts.com/shops/index.htm To learn a LOT about Maori art
& culture, see http://www.maori.org.nz/s_show/tukutuku/
If you have an interest in woodcarving, definately check out the various links at http://www.maori.org.nz/whakairo/ There is a lot here on the meaning & origin of design-- this good inspiration for tattooists, but remember to change it! Make it your own! Maori patterns are ancestoral, so we don't want you wearing someone's family pattern. Be original!
