Do you know the greetings of the Maori?
There are two greetings which you are a friend or not. When a stranger comes, they take out their tongue and intimidate. But you don’t need run away. If you do nothing at that time, you are recognized as a brave person. When you become friends with them, you rub your nose and their nose and exchange greetings saying “Kia Ora!” This is the traditional greetings of the Maori. For the Maori, it is said that breath of the life dwells in the nose.
In addition, when they walk at the place where the Maori lives in, women walk the front and men walk the back. On the contrary, when they sit on chairs, men sit the front and women sit the back. Even more, there is a ceremony called “Calling” and they welcome singing songs.
