The Marquesan people, Marquesas Islands, Polynesia: The native inhabitants are known in the local language as Enanaa, meaning ‘people.’ Traditionally, Marquesans wore clothing made of leaves and grasses that were decorated with animal teeth and beads. Today, their skirts are more likely to be made of cloth. Historically, Enanaa had no written alphabet, so tattoos are an important part of their identities. Shapes and symbols enable people to communicate their status and their genealogy.
