Oriini Kaipara, aged 41, became a pioneer in the field of television presenting. She created history by joining New Zealand’s Newshub as a newsreader. Oriini became the first-ever primetime TV news bulletin presenter to proudly wear a moko kauae, a significant cultural symbol for Māori women.The Māori people, who are the original Polynesian inhabitants of mainland New Zealand, consider moko kauae as significant representations of their heritage and identity.
