1769 J. Cook Jrnl. 26 June (1955) I. 108 On every point was a Morai and several inland all ornamented with carved work.

1777 J. Cook Jrnl. 1 Sept. (1967) III. i. 200 When we got to the Morai we found the Priests..waiting for us, the Corps or Sacrifice laid in a small Canoe before the Morai.

1814 W. Brown Hist. Propagation Christianity II. 350 Many were the marais and altars reared at his command.

1865 E. B. Tylor Res. Early Hist. Mankind iii. 46 A large white cloth, spread on the pavement of a marae.

1877 Ranken in Jrnl. Royal Anthropol. Inst. 6 236 The marais, or terraced enclosures for sacred purposes, are exactly like those of Mexico and Peru.

1905 W. Baucke Where White Man Treads 276 Every order and tribal regulation had to be decided in meeting-house convened, and proclaimed in the marae (village green) to the whole people.

1910 C. G. Seligmann Melanesians Brit. New Guinea xx. 223 Each local group of each clan has..at least one marea [sic], which serves as the meeting place for the men of the local group, and is their clubhouse in the fullest sense of the term.

1934 Nature 10 Nov. 740/2 The turtle..was the food of the gods [in Tahiti], eaten only by chiefs and keepers of the marae.

1949 P. H. Buck Coming of Maori (1950) iv. iii. 480 Turning to New Zealand, it is a curious fact that the two fundamental features of the central Polynesian temples were not combined but remained as distinct entities. Thus the open court, distinguished by the term marae, is retained as a secular feature in front of the tribal or family meeting houses.

1959 A. H. McLintock Descr. Atlas N.Z. 72 In the country proper [i.e. rural districts] the Maori has retained his traditional mode of life which is symbolised in the marae. In a literal sense the term means the open courtyard in front of the communal meeting house; today, however, it embraces all aspects of community life—community buildings, tribal gatherings, church activities, and recreation.

1985–6 Future Times (N.Z.) 13/2 The same contrast might be drawn between the standard punitive..measures designed by the authorities to cope with young Maori offenders, and those that attempt to mobilise elders and the marae to achieve the same end.

1988 Oxf. Illustr. Encycl. IV. 341/1 [He] built Turanga-waewae, south of Auckland, as a leading marae (social, political, cultural, and spiritual centre).
