Explanatory notes
1
Local iwi or hapū curriculum aims and objectives take precedence with this unit
standard.
2
The context of the inquiries required should begin with the local rohe or takiwa.
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 kaupapa,
tikanga and take.
3
Definitions of local Māori words and concepts in the local dialect must be verified by
the local iwi and or hapū concerned.
4
Resource support includes but is not limited to the following:
Buck, P, The Coming of the Māori, (Christchurch, NZ: Whitcoulls Ltd, 1982).
Kelly, L, Tainui, (Christchurch, NZ: Capper Press, 1980).
Stafford, D. M, Te Arawa: A History of the Arawa People, (Auckland, NZ: Reed
Books, 1967).
Waitangi Tribunal Reports, (Wellington, NZ: Waitangi Tribunal).
5
Certain events are recounted as turning points or critical events in the history and
development of a hapū or iwi and often characterise the hapū or iwi. For example,
key battles, events associated with the taking of land, births and deaths of rangatira.
These events are often immortalised in whakatauki, pepeha, moteatea, whakairo and
other forms of expression.
