Tōku Marae Writing
Read and gather ideas
A marae is a place where people come together. The buildings and spaces at a marae can include a wharenui (meeting house), a wharekai (dining hall) and a marae ātea (open space in front of the wharenui). A pou is a post, and some pou are carved. Marae have their own histories and tikanga (customs and protocols). People may gather there to welcome visitors, share kai, learn, remember and celebrate. The ways these things happen can differ from one marae to another.
