Explanatory notes
Mana Whakairo
Tikanga and kawa that underpin the standards in the domain Mana Whakairo relate to
specific interpretations and understandings of whakapapa, te reo, symbolism, concepts
and representation; and in a whakairo context are quite specific and therefore distinctive
from tikanga and kawa in the broader context of Te Ao Māori whānui.
