Karakia, prayers or ritual prose, which are recited in most situations where kawa or
tikanga are used. Karakia are integral to most formal proceedings as they provide
the spiritual basis.
Manaakitanga or providing hospitality is a fundamental practice which has a range of
applications. An associated aspect is the concept of tiaki or caring for others. A
common example of manaakitanga is the practice of providing food for guests.
The particular aspects of mana referred to are respect and status of individuals.
Respect for others, and therefore their mana, is very important.
