In the Māori dictionary the whakapākehā for pōwhiri comes up with invitation, rituals of encounter, and a welcome ceremony. Many of you may be familiar with the pōwhiri process but have a lack of understanding of what is happening during the pōwhiri.

When do we do powhiri?

The primal atua Papatūānuku and Ranginui and their tamariki are symbolised in the layout of the marae and its significance during pōwhiri.
The marae ātea, the space outside the front of the wharenui, is the domain of Tūmatauenga. Speeches that take place on the marae ātea are allowed to be forceful, representing the nature of Tū.
The wharenui is considered to be the domain of Rongo. Speeches that take place within the wharenui are expected to be more conciliatory. Metaphorically, the floor of the wharenui represents Papatūānuku, while the roof represents her husband, Ranginui. Tāne, who separated the two, is metaphorically represented by the building in the phrase, Tāne whakapiripiri.
