Mahuta is the first woman to be appointed to the role of foreign minister and the second-ever Maori person. In 2016 Mahuta became the first Maori woman to display a moko kauae [sacred facial tattoo] in parliament and has been promoted from associate minister of housing and Maori affairs to one of the highest ministerial portfolios. Ffs! Mahuta has said her moko is both highly individual and also intrinsically linked to her tribe, whanau (family) and bonds to the rivers and mountains of New Zealand. They are usually bestowed on high-ranking Maori women as a reflection of their standing and mana, or power, in the community.
