I was at a conference, one of the module was to visit the Mangere Mountain for outdorr education. The two facilitators Kylie and Anau are Maories of the local Iwi. Judith is another participant. They are very warm people and are not afraid to touch.
The Hongi is touching/rubbing their nose as a greeting.

It is funny how different people have traditions around touching - you're lucky to experience the variety in our world.
