Definition
Tikanga are cultural practices and procedures exercised by Māori in their daily lives.
These practices reflect the concepts upon which they are based and provide
guidelines for appropriate behaviour in Māori society. They also prescribe
consequences for any breaches or when tikanga is not followed. They can be
particular to a local marae, whānau, hapū, or iwi.
