Ovoo
Ovoo, oboo, or obo (Mongolian: овоо, pronunciationⓘ , Buryat: обоо, Khakas: обаа, romanized: obâ, Traditional Mongol: ᠣᠪᠤᠭ᠎ᠠ, 'heap'; Chinese: 敖包 áobāo, lit. 'magnificent bundle' [i.e. 'shrine']) are cairns used as border markers or shrines in Mongolian folk religious practice and in the religion of other Mongolic peoples. While some ovoos simply consist of a mound of stones, most have branches and khadag stuck into them. In the absence of stones, ovoos can be made entirely of branches, or even soil or sand.

Ovoos are often found at the top of mountains and in high places like mountain passes. In modern times, some of them have developed into large and elaborate structures, becoming more like temples than simple altars. They serve mainly as sites for the worship of Heaven and lesser gods led by shamans and kins' elders, but also for Buddhist ceremonies.

Khata
A khata /ˈkætə/ or khatag is a traditional ceremonial scarf in Tibetan. It is widely used by the Tibetan, Nepalese, Bhutanese, Ladakhi, Mongolian, Buryat, and Tuvan peoples on various occasions. It originated in Tibetan culture and is common in cultures and countries where Tibetan Buddhism is practiced or has strong influence. The practice of using khatas has influenced people of other communities too who are in close relation to these communities. It is predominantly used in Tibet, followed by other parts of the world. It is a symbol of honour and respect. It is used in Tibetan religious ceremony and in traditional dances, and is offered in monasteries and in temples.

In Nepal, a khata is used as a gift for various occasions like wedding, graduation, electoral victory, winning an award and several other major lifestones. Generally, the guests or invitees at the reception would put khata on the host of such parties. It is used by both Hindus and Buddhists of Nepal in that manner.

Waikato (rangatira)
Waikato (c. 1790 – 17 September 1877), sometimes known as Waikato Piriniha or Prince Waikato, also known as Hohaia Parata or Hohaia Parati, was a tribal leader (rangatira) of the Ngāpuhi and Te Hikutū iwi (tribes). Waikato's primary residence was the pā at Rangihoua Bay.

As a young man, Waikato travelled to England in 1820 alongside the principal Ngāpuhi chief Hongi Hika and the missionary Thomas Kendall. Hongi Hika and Waikato had assisted Kendall with developing a written form of the Māori language and in England, they worked with the linguist Samuel Lee at the University of Cambridge in the preparation of a grammar and vocabulary of the language. The chiefs had an audience with King George IV.

Hongi Hika
Hongi Hika (c. 1772 – 6 March 1828) was a New Zealand Māori rangatira (chief) and war leader of the iwi of Ngāpuhi. He was a pivotal figure in the early years of regular European contact and settlement in New Zealand. As one of the first Māori leaders to understand the advantages of European muskets in warfare, he used them to overrun much of northern New Zealand in the early nineteenth century Musket Wars.

In order to obtain the muskets Hongi Hika encouraged Pākehā (European) settlement, built mutually beneficial relationships with New Zealand's first missionaries, introduced Māori to Western agriculture and helped put the Māori language into writing. He traveled to England and met King George IV. His military campaigns resulted in the Musket Wars, and preventing them was an important motivator for the British annexation of New Zealand and subsequent Treaty of Waitangi with Ngāpuhi and many other iwi.
