Details

When Maori people gather for a hui, they connect directly with an ancestral world that remains a living reality for the duration of the gathering. Hui encompass all forms of Maori ceremonial gatherings, including the openings of new marae, tangihanga (funerals), hurahanga kohatu (unveilings), birthdays and anniversaries, and tribal decision-making.

In Hui, Distinguished Professor Dame Anne Salmond introduces readers to all aspects of the hui and its profound significance to Maori life. She explores the history of the marae as an institution, the differences between rural and urban marae, and the procedures observed across Aotearoa. This definitive study provides both a comprehensive guide for students of ethnology and anthropology and an engaging account for anyone with an interest in Maoritanga.
