Maori Powhiri (Welcome) Queenstown NZ

On the shores of Lake Wakatipu near Queenstown, New Zealand, we were welcomed by the local Maori with a "powhiri". It's a challenge. You're offered a feather or piece of fern and if you don't pick it up, it means you are there for a fight. So you pick it up. :-) The attendees were employees attending a regional, Asia/Pacific company conference. They were unaware this group was about to turn up in jet boats. Most people there were from around Asia or places other than New Zealand. They weren't aware of the correct protocol. The free Lindaur bubbly laid on had people fairly relaxed. 2008-11-09: I've uploaded more video from this event. Each is a video response to the one before it. http://twitter.com/nza1 (Note: This video sat in a box on a video cassette for several years prior to the "invention" of YouTube. All bow down before YouTube. :-) )
