Ep 039 Celebrating Ancestry Through Tattoo Art: Joseph Houia's Path
What if the art on your skin could reconnect you with your heritage and tell a centuries-old story? Join us as we explore the powerful journey of Joseph Houia, an Indigenous tattoo artist from Aotearoa, New Zealand. Joseph's tale is one of passion, resilience, and cultural revival-starting from a simple school art project to becoming moko practitioner. He shares how Māori wood carving has deeply influenced his tattoo designs and reflects on the profound significance of moko in celebrating and preserving his heritage.
Ever wondered how traditional coil tattoo machines stack up against the sleek rotary devices of today? We dive deep into the evolution of tattoo machines, with personal stories highlighting the connection and spirit behind each piece of ink. From honoring one's lineage to reconnecting with genealogy, these tattoos are much more than skin deep-they're powerful symbols of identity. Additionally, we uncover surprising cultural similarities between Indigenous tattoo artists from around the Pacific and First Nations communities, showing how these timeless patterns and meanings transcend continents.
The episode also delves into the importance of preserving and passing on cultural traditions through moko artistry. Joseph, along with other Indigenous artists, emphasizes the need to create an archive of work to inspire future generations and help them connect with their heritage. The episode concludes with a heartfelt discussion on the role of care, compassion, and humility in tattooing, and the deep fulfillment that comes from mentoring new artists and contributing to the continuation of these beautiful traditions. Don't miss this episode-it's a testament to the power of cultural storytelling through art.
I hope you have enjoyed this episode, and I am excited to travel the world of Indigenous tattooing with you as we visit with friends and colleagues from across the globe doing the work.

    Dagot'ee shii Shayla gonslee Ndee..Notoca Xoxoctic Xochitl Na Nahua Mexica...I love this video so strong & informative about how important and special it is to honor your traditions in honor of our relatives & long ago ancestors who gave their lives and survived the genocides and assimilations. I tell my mother being native is as if another group of people took over and only left 10% of all american socitey. She couldnt fathom how traumatic that would be. Or how much courage & strength it would take to remember who you really are before colonism of another society. WE ARE THE SURVIVORS OF THE PEOPLE THEY COULD NOT EXTERMINATE! I have my Chiricahua Apache facial tattoos, 7 dots by each eye to represent the 7 Generations of my new commitment to my womanhood. It means I cannot do any evil nor bad to people no matter how I feel. I must be good in honor of them.. Ahiyahee

    Do you know of anyone knowledgeable about the cultural markings of the Inohka (aka Illinois, Illini, or Illiniwek)? Some descendants are now known as the Peoria and Miami Tribes who were relocated to Oklahoma.

    Dion, this whole series is awesome and love all of it. Over the last few years I've pieced together some of my family history and much of its lost, colonization, no stories passed down, slave trade etc. What's crazy is what I've found traces in my immediate family, always felt a connection but didn't understand how concrete it can be. Trying to learn more about it especially the piece that ties me to the pacific. I hope you see this have a few questions I'm sure you could give some context and clarity to and direction for future tatau.
