The most comprehensive study of Maori hui – ceremonial gatherings, incorporating marae protocol, openings of new marae, tangihanga (funerals), hurahanga kohatu (unveilings), birthdays, anniversaries, and tribal policy-making.
This book introduces us to all aspects of the hui and its significance to Maori. It is a definitive study of ceremonial gatherings and the rituals that are the life blood of the marae.
