Definitions
Manaaki – is an ethic of thoughtfulness, sharing and caring that links directly to Māori
well-being, to the marae and its people’s integrity. This proverb, ‘ka tika ā muri, ka
tika ā mua’ best describes this significant aspect of the Māori value system. It is
characterised through the acts of hospitality that happen in the front and back of the
marae, both of which are interdependent.
Marae context – refers to marae (urban and/or rural marae), its geographical location
and physical location, its associated resources (human resources/ngā ringawera, ngā
taputapu mahi kai, ngā taonga tunu kai, ngā taonga kawe kai); in any assessment
context.
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 region or a local iwi.

This entry level unit standard is intended for students who will carry out activities
under close supervision and guidance in a marae wharekai to understand the roles
and responsibilities of ringawera.
3
Māori terms – iwi variations and understandings should or may take precedence over
the generic terms, where appropriate.
