National traditions of French Polynesia
One of the most interesting concepts in French Polynesia is the mystical “mana”. Mana can mean a lot of things: vitality, independence, beauty, grandeur, intelligence, truth, and so on. It mainly depends on the situation and what needs to be expressed. When people say about a person: “he has mana”, often means that he has attained some kind of enlightenment. Another distinctive Polynesian trait is widely spread tattoos. Tattooing has always been an important part of the Polynesian culture and could be drawn to the skin as a sign of belonging to some tribe or a symbol of the transition from childhood to adulthood. The word itself “tattoo” is of Tahitian origin. The Tahitians had a god of tattoos, known for decorating all the fish. Each line of the tattoo on the body, each dash is still considered to be connected with mana. Most of the islanders believe that every Polynesian should have at least one tattoo.
