In many Polynesian cultures the Hongi (or Honi) is a traditional greeting that involves pressing foreheads/noses and inhaling at the same time. This symbolises ha, or the breath of life, being exchanged between both parties. It is sometimes followed by a kiss on the cheek or a hug followed by exhaling.

I love how much research they put into little aspects of Polynesian culture like this.
