EOTC Week - ( Marae Visit )

This blog is about Marae Visit, comment some feedbacks to help me improve my work.

Task:  Using your prior knowledge and research skills, create a list of expectations and marae
            tikanga. Create a DLO to share your information.

If a person that is never been to a marae before a elder in the group, they will often perform a protective karakia of prayer known as waerea. Usually, the group will organise their kaikaranga, their speakers and collect the donation.
When they are welcoming a group, they are responsible for them. They begin the welcome when the group of visitors has assembled. In modern times, a ritual challenge occurs when a particularly important visitor is being welcomed. When the visitors are being welcomed onto the marae, the host people will sometimes welcome them with a haka powhiri.

Before the welcome, you should arrive early. It is considered impolite to walk onto a marae once a powhiri is underway. Then, dress formally for a ceremony of mourning. Introduce yourself to other groups you don’t know. Give your koha to the community leader with the envelope. Ensure cell phones are switched off throughout the powhiri,
During the powhiri, you just not walk onto a marae, you need to be welcomed on. Do not eat or_ drink during the welcome. Do not walk in front of a speaker on the marae ata. Speak in Maori,__ not in english if giving a speech. Male sit at the front on most marae, though some marae allow_ both men and women to sit on the front sit. At the conclusion of the welcome you should harirū_ (and hongi . While on some marae kissing on the cheek is considered appropriate, others prefer_ that men and women just hongi and harirū.
You should wash your hands after the powhiri. In the dining room, manuhiri will be called in for food. It is polite to let the elders go first. Often the person calling people in for food, will say who would come first. Wait until the karakia has been said before eating. Do not pass a food over a__ person’s head in the wharekai. Do not sit on tables.

In the wharenui, remove your shoes before going into the wharenui. Check before you put your_ sleeping bag down. Certain parts of the wharenui are reserved for particular manuhiri and tangata whenua. Do not eat or drink in the wharenui. Do not step over people in the wharenui. Do not sit on pillows. I got this writing from my maori task which I wrote for about some weeks before.
