Powhiri at Orakei Marae

This video shows you our Powhiri (welcoming ceremony) to the Orakei Marae.  We were welcomed on by their Kaikaranga (caller).  Zoe was our caller for the manuhiri (visitors) she would reply back to them.  It was an amazing experience and for many of the students their first experience in an actual powhiri ceremony and being on the marae.  Thanks to Whaea Celeste and many of the tutors that helped deepen our understanding of marae protocol, their history and arts.
