Helpfulness
The East Coast of New Zealand, which is where Gisborne lies, has one of the larger percentages of Maori population. Ao you will find that many people will pepper their conversations with a few Maori words.
This is helped along by the government's drive to incorporate the Maori language into everyday life in our culture.

Kia Ora: Hello
Whanau: Family
Whare: House
Taniwha: Sea Monster
Haere Mai: Welcome
Tamariki: Children
