They were laying down a powerful wero, a challenge to the visiting manuhiri. |
The tapu must be lifted from the manuhiri before one can enter. |
The behaviour, abuse, and intimidation of manuhiri and visitors by a minority of extremists was regrettable. |
The kawa must be explained to all, including manuhiri and new members of the group. |
As the conference opened, Victoria's Toiahurei, Professor Piri Sciascia, offered a formal welcome to all manuhiri. |
Once the speeches and waiata are completed, the tangata whenua will greet the manuhiri with a hongi, kihikihi or hand shake. |
