He pakipūmeka o Aotearoa.

“Traditional Maori welcoming ceremonies – powhiri - are rituals of encounter intended to bring people together safely and with dignity. We continue the custom in contemporary New Zealand, on and off marae. But the practice has the power to both unite and divide, at times coming to national attention, for example, when probation officer Josie Bullock refused to sit behind male colleagues at a Department of Corrections powhiri. This documentary invites viewers to ponder the place of Maori language and culture in modern Aotearoa.”- http://media.maoritelevision.com/default.aspx?tabid=399&pid=8968.
