A marae (in New Zealand Māori , Cook Islands Māori , Tahitian ), malaʻe (in Tongan ), meʻae (in Marquesan ) or malae (in Samoan ) is a communal or sacred place that serves religious and social purposes in Polynesian societies. In all these languages, the term also means cleared and free of weeds or trees. Marae generally consist of an area of cleared land roughly rectangular (the marae itself), bordered with stones or wooden posts (called au in Tahitian and Cook Islands Māori) perhaps with paepae (terraces) which were traditionally used for ceremonial purposes; and in some cases, such as Easter Island , a central stone ahu or a'u is placed. In the Easter Island Rapa Nui culture, the term ahu or a'u has become a synonym for the whole marae complex.

Similar to other strains of Polynesian dogs , it was introduced to the Marquesas by the ancestors of the Polynesian people during their migrations.

These native dogs are thought to have become extinct before
