A Māori journalist made history in New Zealand by becoming the first person with traditional facial markings to host a primetime news program on national television.
Oriini Kaipara made headlines worldwide after hosting her first 6 p.m. bulletin for Newshub on the TV channel Three, with many lauding the milestone as a win for Māori representation.
The 38-year-old is already the permanent anchor of the 4:30 p.m."Newshub Live" bulletin, and previously made history in 2019 while working at TVNZ, when she became the first person with Māori facial markings to present a mainstream TV news program.what is now New Zealand, facial markings are tattooed on the chin for women and known as moko kauae, while for men they cover most of the face and are known as mataora.
Despite all the positive comments, there have also been negative reactions to Kaipara's presenting, especially as she often uses Māori phrases such as"E haere ake nei" ,"Ū tonu mai" and"Taihoa e haere" . "She was my idol," Kaipara told CNN."She had the same skin color as me... she sounded like me, she looked like me. And she comes from where I come from originally, my family, whakapapa , where are ancestral ties are to our land."
