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 Marea 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 focussed 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 process that you go though  Eg Karakia.
Pōwhiri	Welcoming people.
Tangata whenua	The local people who connected to a marae
Manuhiri	Visitors.
Tūrangawaewae	a home base
Whanaungatanga	Relationship, sense of family connection. Belonging.
Manaakitanga	Care for someone's well being.
Aroha	Love and respect.

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