A marae is a place where people gather, welcome visitors, share knowledge, and connect with their community. The wharenui is the central building where people meet. The wharekai is a place where people prepare and share kai. A waharoa is an entrance or gateway. Tikanga are customs and values that guide what people do. Kawa are the protocols followed in a particular place. These practices are not exactly the same everywhere. When visiting, people listen to their hosts and follow local guidance.
