Hui (Association)
A Hui is a traditional gathering or association in Māori culture, primarily in New Zealand. It serves as a platform for community members to come together for various purposes, such as sharing knowledge, celebrating events, or discussing important issues. Hui can be formal or informal and often includes speeches, performances, and communal meals.
In addition to cultural significance, hui play a vital role in decision-making processes within Māori communities. They foster collaboration and strengthen relationships among members, ensuring that everyone's voice is heard. This practice reflects the values of unity and collective responsibility inherent in Māori society.
