Enter Marai, a sacred Meeting House where ancestral spirits are honored through rituals passed down through generations. Witness awe-inspiring welcoming ceremonies performed by descendants who continue to uphold age-old traditions. A striking statue adorned with Moko facial tattoos serves as a testament to the artistry and symbolism embedded within this unique form of body adornment practiced by the Maoris for centuries.
