Hau is a notion made popular by the French anthropologist Marcel Mauss in his 1925 book The Gift.1 Surveying the practice of gifting, he came to the conclusion that it involved belief in a force binding the receiver and giver. The term ‘Hau’, used by Māori, became a paradigmatic example for such a view. --- Hau (anthropology) - Wikipedia
