Blog Post Title : Te Reo, Term 4 2016.

This term we have been learning all about the Marae. We have learned that…….

• The Marae is an important focal point for the community.
• The Marae is a place where tradition and customs can be carried out.
• The Marae is a place where people can express their values with dignity.
• There are many kawa ( protocols) that prevail on the marae.
• Marae kawa (protocols) can differ between maraes and iwi.

We have focused on some key concepts when doing this learning.

These are listed and explained in the table below.

Concept	Definition - give the meaning of these concepts in your own words.
Tikanga	The way we do things.
Pōwhiri	The Welcoming ceremony on a marae.
Tangata whenua	The people with relation to the marae.
Manuhiri	Visitors that visit a marae.
Tūrangawaewae	Like a home base for the marae.
Whanaungatanga	Relationships, friendships and making people feel like they belong.
Manaakitanga	Caring for people's well being.
Aroha	Love, for each other.

See this video for an explanation of the roles and responsibilities of people on a marae.

Something I would like to learn more about the marae is how exactly a powhiri works.
