The Maori way of life is based on cooperation, loyalty, pride and respect, and is centred on the marae, an area of land with a meeting house, adorned with stylized carvings of tribal ancestors.
The bottom part was left on the shore in the water where it was originally, and the top part was taken to a large meeting hall or meeting house – a place where people meet and have discussions.
底部留在岸边原来的水中,顶部被带到一个大会议厅或会议室——人们会面和讨论的地方。
