A 'karanga' is the call sent out by a woman who stands at the front of the marae calling the manuhiri onto the marae. |
The judge is on the marae, he does something that someone says is contrary to tikanga Maori, and, bang, the judge is up on a complaint. |
The group is essentially a kapa haka or performing-arts group associated with a marae in Wellington. |
The marae welcomes both overnight visitors as well as those who come just for the concert and the hangi. |
I have also noticed some potential similarities between stone circles and marae. |
These marae are community focused and they provide a focal point for community action. |
