Explanatory notes
1
The context of the inquiries should begin with 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 kaupapa, tikanga and take.
2
The definitions of Māori words and concepts in the local dialect must be verified and
endorsed by the rūnanga, marae committee or other recognised authority, including
individual experts, of the local iwi and/or hapū.

Descriptions and explanations can be presented in a number of ways that may
include but are not limited to – oral presentations; visual presentations; written
presentations; whakaari; waiata and haka.
