Important Māori concepts applicable to this unit standard are:
Kaitiakitanga – refers to Māori environmental management systems evolved to protect and
enhance the mauri of taonga and ensure the sustainable use and management of natural
and physical resources.
Mana – The practice of kaitiakitanga is carried out by iwi and hapū through the exercise of
iwi and hapū mana, embodied in the concept of tino rangatiratanga. Mana is derived from
mana atua, mana whenua, and mana tupuna.
Taonga – Natural resources are taonga. Māori share a common whakapapa with taonga,
and therefore share a strong sense of responsibility and reciprocal obligations toward
taonga. This forms an important part of a holistic world view. All taonga are inter-related,
inter-connected, and inter-dependent. The mauri of taonga must be protected. The
sustainable management of taonga is therefore paramount.
