Great Powhiri Toby it is very detailed well done. Don't forget to use capitals in your writing e.g. Tangata Whenua.

Powhiri procedure L.I. I am learning to write the procedure of a powhiri.

You will be welcomed by the tangata whenua with a formal "welcome song". The welcome song will be native to the Maori tribe you are visiting. Each tribe has their own unique welcome songs. At this point, you will move forward to the seating area with your selected speakers at the front, facing the tangata whenua.

Once everyone is seated, tangata whenua begin the whaikorero, the official welcome, acknowledgement of the attendees and the purpose for the visit. When a speaker has finished their whaikorero, the speech is always accompanied by a song.

However do remember, each speech provided on behalf of the group must also be accompanied by a song. The song can be anything, even your country's National anthem; what really matters is that you sing a song that is important to your party.

After the speakers from tangata whenua are completed, it is then time for a response to be heard from the manuhiri (your group). Normal by a leader Male. After the process its coming up to the end.

This is the last part of the powhiri process and is called the hongi. The hongi is where you shake hands, press noses and foreheads with the tangata whenua. Reflection: I know i need to work on my capitals of Maori names.

Great instructions here Toby, i'm sure that you could give these to someone who has never weaved a putiputi and they will do a great job. I love how you have used photos as well. This helps the reader understand what you mean.
