Definitions of Māori words will be those relevant and in common usage in an
Iwi/Māori social services context.
Local iwi or hapū aims and objectives underpin the national standard basis of this
unit standard. The definitions of Māori words and concepts in the local dialect must
be verified by the local iwi and/or hapū.
The context of the unit standard is limited to local rohe or takiwā; where local rohe
are also occupied by a number of other iwi or hapū, the tangata whenua or mana
whenua view will take precedence. Other iwi or hapū views should be encouraged in
order to enrich and enhance understanding of key Māori concepts and practices.

Glossary:
Pre-colonisation and post-colonisation periods are before and after the signing of Te
Tiriti o Waitangi.
Iwi in this unit standard refers to any iwi, including iwi that are not within the
candidate's whakapapa. Iwi can be interpreted to mean an equivalent
kinship/genealogical structure within the ethnic culture of non Māori candidates (e.g.
clan, sept, tribe, aiga). Other Māori concepts used in this unit standard, (e.g. tatau
pounamu, raupatu) should be interpreted in terms of equivalent concepts within nonMāori candidates' ethnic cultures.
