Definitions
Institutional racism may be defined as policies and practices in an organisation which
discriminate against a racial group. Another type of institutional racism is where a
racial group does not receive equal treatment despite apparently non-discriminatory
policies and practices.
Personal racism refers to racism practised by individuals against other individuals or
groups.
Māori management situations refers to tikanga or management situations involving
Māori staff or clients and may include – personnel issue, any personal issue,
management and board issue, external relationship issue, stakeholder relationship
issue.
Māori organisation is an organisation whose kaupapa is whānau, hapū, iwi, and/or
hapori Māori-based. Modern-day examples include: Ahu Whenua Trusts, Crown
Forest Rental Trust, Iwi Asset Holding Company, Iwi Authorities, Māori Council,
Māori Wardens, Māori Women’s Welfare League, Marae Trusts, NZ Māori Council,
Rūnanga, Tribal committees, Trust Boards, Urban Māori Authorities, Whānau Trusts.
Key actions refer to performing important activities such as taking direct action,
changing the rules, developing new ideas, communicating, educating, monitoring,
and/or providing feedback.
Kaimahi is a worker.

The context of this 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.
