Wahine Ataahua
Māori people in New Zealand are known for their ridiculous personalities, but they also embody beauty. Wahine ataahua means "magandang babae" in Filipino & polynesian flowers are used to represent Māori women and their beauty, such as Hibiscus symbolizes beauty and joy, Plumeria for creation and love, and Antharium for hospitality. The traditional female chin tattoo is a physical manifestation of their true identity & status.
