NORTHLAND MARAE BANS WOMEN FROM SITE DURING BUILDING PHASEA ban on women at a marae building site could deter young women from working in construction, according to a company which encourages Māori and Pasifika people to learn trades. Mokau Marae in Helena Bay, 46km north-east of Whangārei, has banned women from its grounds while its wharekai (kitchen) and wharenui (main meeting room) are built. The work is expected to be finished in 2020. A sign on the marae's gate reads: "Please respect our tikanga. No women allowed by order of the Marae Committee.".... www.stuff.co.nz/national/111991454/northland-marae-bans-women-from-site-during-building-phase
