Explanatory notes
1
In all instances tākaro should be underpinned by the concept kia kawea tātou e te
Rēhia (be taken by the spirit of fun and amusement).
2
Pūrākau are accounts or stories associated with the gods and demigods, as opposed
to pakiwaitara, which are accounts associated with humankind. The traditional and
widely held view of Māori is that pūrākau provide a historical continuum and are an
integral part of a tribe’s history.
3
Local iwi or hapū tikanga and kawa underpin the basis of this unit standard.
4
The context of the unit standard is limited to local rohe or takiwā. Where local rohe
are also occupied by other iwi or hapū, the tangata whenua or mana whenua view
will take precedence. Other iwi or hapū views should be encouraged, in order to
enrich and enhance understanding of key Māori concepts and practices.
5
For the assessment of this unit standard, descriptions and explanations can be
presented in a number of ways that may include but are not limited to – oral
presentations, visual presentations, written presentations, whakaari, waiata, haka,
playing, and participation in tewhatewha.
