There are 3 main rites in the passage:Birth, Puberty and Marriage & Death.

Rites of Separation:farewells/powhiri Rites of Liminality:passport control Rites of Reintegration:Housewarming/welcome home parties/hongi.

Rites of passage are the mileposts or landmarks that guide travelers through the life cycle. Arnold van Gennep, writing in 1909 about tribal ritual, first noted the similarities "among ceremonies of birth, childhood, social puberty, betrothal, marriage, pregnancy, fatherhood, initiation into religious societies and funerals."All were rites of passage and consisted of three distinct phases: separation, transition, and incorporation.
