Wero The wero challenge is still widely utilised amongst many tribes in Aotearoa (New Zealand). The importance for the wero or challenge is to establish whether  the visiting group is there as friend or foe. A young warrior of the Marae is sent out to perform the wero testing the visitors reaction and ready to react to any provocation by the visiting group.

Karanga/powhiri The karanga is a formal part of welcoming a manuhiri (guest) onto a Marae (meeting house) as part of the tour however you will be formally welcomed onto the Village. An intricate part of the karanga ceremony is based around the lifting of tapu (sacredness) and allows the manuhiri (guest) and tangata whenua (local people) to become one.
