Loading Docs 2016 - 'Aka'ōu: Tātatau in the Cook Islands
Web (Full Length) – 2016
They [the tools] don't belong to me and it [the tātatau knowledge] is something that's been passed down; it's my responsibility to ensure that it's in safe hands.– Croc Coulter
Aka’ōu: Tātatau in the Cook Islands is dedicated to the memory of my father, Cook Islands artist and educator Ian George (1952 – 2016). Ian was a staunch supporter of Croc Coulter and his work, recognising the cultural significance of Croc bringing the tools back to the islands.– Director Robert George
