LANGUAGE

GREETINGS

Greetings are casual, often consisting simply of a
handshake and a smile.

Never underestimate the value of the smile as it
indicates pleasure at meeting the other person.

Although New Zealanders move to first names quickly, it
is best to address them by their honorific title and
surname until they suggest moving to a more familiar
level or they call you by your first name.



Examples of Maori language used (calendar)
TRADITIONAL GREETINGS

Hongi is done by pressing ones nose and forehead
(at the same time) to another person at an
encounter.

In the hongi, the ha (or breath of life), is exchanged
and intermingled. The breath of life can also be
interpreted as the sharing of both partys souls.
Cont

Kia ora is a Mori language greeting which means
"be well/healthy" and is translated as an informal
"hi.

"Tn koe" (one person), "Tn krua" (two
people) and "Tn koutou" (three or more people).

By adding "koe" in Kia Ora (i.e. "kia ora koe") one
can specify a greeting to a single person; "krua"
(two people); "koutou" (three or more people);
and by following with "ttou" one addresses all the
people present, including the speaker themself.

TRADITIONAL ACCESSORIES

Hei-tiki is an ornamental pendant of the
Mori which is worn around the neck.

Usually made of pounamu which is
greenstone, and are considered a taonga
(treasure).

There are two main ideas behind the
symbolism of hei-tiki: they are either
memorials to ancestors, or represent the
goddess of childbirth, Hineteiwaiwa.

Often given to a woman by her
husband's family if she was having
trouble conceiving.
In Mori culture, the white heron
and the Huia were not normally
eaten but were rare birds treasured
for their precious plumes, worn by
people of high rank.

The Huias tail feathers were valued
highly and were exchanged among
tribes for other valuable goods such
as pounamu and shark teeth, or
given as tokens of friendship and
respect.

Huia feathers were worn at funerals
and used to decorate the heads of
the deceased.

T moko is the permanent body
and face marking by the Mori.

Traditionally it is distinct from
tattoo and tatau in that the skin
was carved by uhi (chisels) rather
than punctured.

Men generally received moko on
their faces, buttocks (raperape)
and thighs (puhoro).

Women usually wore moko on their
lips (kauwae) and chins. Other
parts of the body known to have
moko include women's foreheads,
buttocks, thighs, necks and backs
and men's backs, stomachs, and
calves.
TRADITIONAL DANCES

A haka is a traditional ancestral war cry, dance or challenge
from the Mori people of New Zealand.

It is a posture dance performed by a group, with vigorous
movements and stamping of the feet with rhythmically
shouted accompaniment.




ALL BLACK RUGBY UNION

War haka (peruperu) were
originally performed by
warriors before a battle,
proclaiming their strength
and prowess in order to
intimidate theopposition.

Today, Haka are performed
for various reasons: for
amusement, as a hearty
welcome to distinguished
guests, or to acknowledge
great achievements,
occasions or funerals.





FOOD - HANGI

Hngi is a traditional New Zealand Mori method of cooking food
using heated rocks buried in a pit oven still used for special
occasions.

To lay down or put down hngi, dig a pit in the ground, heating
stones in the pit with a large fire, placing baskets of food on top of
the stones, and covering everything with earth for several hours
before uncovering (or lifting) the hngi.
COLONIAL GOOSE

A preparation of roast leg of lamb or
mutton popular as a dish in New
Zealand until the last quarter of the
20th century.

It involves the careful boning out a
leg of lamb, stuffing it with honey
and dried apricots,breadcrumbs,
onion, parsley and thyme or sage
and then marinating it in a red wine.

Some restaurants featuring it as a
main attraction at midwinter
festivities (21 June in New Zealand).

The mixture is usually pressed into
a log shape and rolled in coconut.

24 hours and attracted 5000 patrons.

ROTORUA, NEW ZEALAND
History Of Rotorua
The name Rotorua comes from Maori, the full name being Te
Rotorua-nui-a-Kahumatamomoe.

Roto means lake and rua two Rotorua thus meaning 'Second
lake'. Kahumatamomoe was the uncle of the Maori chief Ihenga,
the ancestral explorer of the Te Arawa. It was the second major
lake the chief discovered, and he dedicated it to his uncle. It is
the largest of a multitude found to the northeast, all connected
with the Rotorua Caldera and nearby Mount Tarawera.

The name can also mean the equally appropriate 'crater lake'
GEOGRAPHY

The area of Rotorua has a relatively high
altitude, measuring up to 290m or 950ft. The
Rotorua region enjoys a warm, temperate
climate.

Rotorua is situated inland from the coast and is
sheltered by high country to the south and east
of the city, resulting in less wind than many
other places in New Zealand.


During the winter months June - August
temperatures can drop well below 0C and in
recent years Rotorua witnessed snow fall in
2011, the first time in over 50 years.
Lakes

The Rotorua region has 17 lakes, known collectively as the
Lakes of Rotorua. Fishing, waterskiing, swimming and other
water activities are popular in summer. The lakes are also used
for event venues; Rotorua hosted the 2007 World Waterski
Championships and Lake Rotorua was the venue for the World
Blind Sailing Championships in March 2009. Lake Rotorua is
also used as a departure and landing point for float planes.
