Explanatory notes
1
The context of inquiries is limited to local rohe and takiwā. Where local rohe are also
occupied by Māori with other iwi or hapū affiliations, the tangata whenua or mana
whenua view takes precedence. However, these alternative perspectives should be
encouraged in order to enrich and enhance understanding of key oranga concepts.
2
Descriptions, explanations, and observable actions can be presented in a number of
ways that may include but are not limited to – kōrero, titiro, whakarongo, tuhituhi,
whakaari, waiata, and haka presentations.
