Hui (Māori assembly)

A hui is a New Zealand term for a social gathering or assembly.

Originally from the Māori language, the word was used by Europeans as early as 1846 to refer to Māori gatherings,[1] but is now increasingly used in New Zealand English to describe events that are not exclusively Māori.[2][3][4]
