Mihimihi
A mihi whakatau is traditionally used for welcoming and introductions which take place on the marae. For Tangata whenua (home people) this is an opportunity to welcome the guests (manuhiri) on to the marae. Both sides will mihi to each other so they can learn who they are and where they are from. It is an opportunity for whakawhanaungatanga and to connect with each other.
