A hui is a type of Māori assembly, gathering or meeting.[1][2] A hui is usually called for a specific cause (Template:Langx), which may relate to the "life crises" of an individual—such as a funeral (Script error: No such module "Lang".) or twenty-first birthday—or to those events that affect a group—such as opening a marae, or welcoming important guests.[3]Template:Rp
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]
