Local iwi or hapū curriculum aims and objectives take precedence with this unit standard.
2 The context of the inquiries required should begin with the local rohe or takiwa.
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 e ncouraged in order to enrich and enhance understanding of key Māori kaupapa, tikanga and take.
3 Definitions of local Māori words and concepts in the local dialect must be verified by the local iwi and or hapū concerned.
4 Resource support includes but is not limited to the following:

Press, 1996).

5 Interaction between Māori and Pākehā prior to 1840 varied considerably in different areas. While areas such as the North were heavily involved in trade, religion and commerce, others like the central North Island remained isolated with little contact during this period. It is envisaged that students will gain an appreciation of the local situation as well as the situation in one other area as well as national trends.
6 A range of nationalities were defined as Pākehā by the Māori during this period. This definition included the Americans, French, Russians and British.
