About
The first marae visit can be a fraught affair — where to stand, what to do, what to bring. Award-winning presenter Tāmati Rimene-Sproat puts such fears to bed in Hongi to Hāngī, a series exploring te ao Māori — the Māori world, its language and customs. In this excerpt from the first episode, Sproat asks members of the public to share their first experiences visiting a marae. A range of experts including Chris Winitana, Te Haumihiata Mason, Francis Tipene and Pere Wihongi share insights about marae protocol, and Sproat introduces the pōwhiri, the welcoming ceremony that helps guide visitors onto the marae.
