Definitions of Māori words will be those relevant and in common usage in tourism
Māori. The dialect must be verified by the local hapū.

Definition
Tourism Māori is an indigenous cultural experience of interaction and engagement
with manuhiri.

This unit standard is designed to assist the learner to identify the uniqueness of
Māori culture. It is thought that Māori language expression will enable the learner to
gain an understanding of the interconnectedness of Te Ao Māori. By understanding
these aspects the learner will be able to explain these differences for manuhiri and
highlight the significance for tourism.

waiata, whakaari, written presentations.
This unit standard may be assessed against in the workplace or in a training provider
situation.
It is expected that this unit standard will not be assessed in a formal setting such as a
powhiri. Candidates must receive iwi mandate or kaumātua attestation for
assessment within a formal setting or formal learning situation. The candidate is not
expected to take a leading role in the proceedings.
