Description
Hui: A Study Of Maori Ceremonial Gatherings is the most comprehensive study of Maori hui, or ceremonial gatherings. These gatherings incorporate marae protocol, tangihanga (funerals), hurahanga kohatu (unveilings), birthdays and anniversaries, and tribal policy-making.
When Maori people gather for a hui, they have immediate access to an ancestral world which remains a living reality for as long as the hui lasts. Hui include all Maori ceremonial gatheringsโopenings of new marae, tangihanga, hurahanga kohatu, birthdays and anniversaries, and tribal policy-making.
This book introduces us to all aspects of the hui and its significance to Maori. It serves as a definitive study of ceremonial gatherings and the rituals that are the lifeblood of the marae. Distinguished Professor Dame Anne Salmond describes the history of the marae as an institution, the different aspects of rural and urban marae, and marae procedures in different parts of New Zealand.
She presents a comprehensive account of Maori ceremonial gatherings for the formal student of ethnology and anthropology, and provides absorbing reading for the lay person with an interest in Maoritanga.
