A Maori welcome | Te Pao a Tahu | TEDxChristchurch

A Maori welcome at a 2015 TEDx event in Christchurch, New Zealand.
In New Zealand, gatherings are typically opened by a "mihi", or Maori welcome. Formed in 2013, Te Pao a Tahu is a kapa haka group based in Christchurch, New Zealand, created out of a desire to retain Ngāi Tahu te reo (language), tikanga (practices), and kawa (customs), and to bring together descendants of Tahu Pōtiki. Although the group is pan-tribal, the majority of members have affiliations to Ngāi Tahu. After debuting at the Waitaha Senior Kapa Haka Regionals, Te Pao a Tahu qualified for the national competitions, Te Matatini, in 2015.
