Do not go walking through a Maori burial ground. It’s sacred and many sites are off limits.
When visiting a meeting house (Wharenui) remove your shoes and do not consume food
Maori meeting grounds (Marae) deserve respect. Seek permission before entering.
When served a meal wait until a blessing is said before eating.
Gifts
Guests invited to a Maori’s house, should bring a small simple gift. It could be a small treat, flowers, or photos of your homeland.
If you are presented with a gift, open it right away.
