N2 - In Aotearoa/New Zealand, the old tradition for meeting the Maori is that you approach a Marae (a Maori communal sacred space and settlement) with caution to indicate your peaceful intentions. You wait at a distance but within sight. In previous ages, the warriors would caution you. If you responded in peace, a welcome would be sung by the women. These days, the warrior’s warnings are largely for the dinner shows (and the Rugby world champion, “All Blacks”).
