Hui (Māori assembly) explained
A hui is a type of Māori assembly, gathering or meeting.[1] [2] A hui is usually called for a specific cause, which may relate to the "life crises" of an individual—such as a funeral or twenty-first birthday—or to those events that affect a group—such as opening a marae, or welcoming important guests.[3]
Originally from the Māori language, the word was used by Europeans as early as 1846 to refer to Māori gatherings,[4] but is now increasingly used in New Zealand English to describe events that are not exclusively Māori.[5] [6]
