Explanatory notes
1
The context of the inquiries is limited to local rohe or takiwā. 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 encouraged in
order to enrich and enhance understanding of key Māori science concepts and
practices.
2
The definitions of Māori words and concepts in the local dialect must be verified by
the local iwi and/or hapū.
3
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, and haka.

Definitions
Closed fractures refer to a broken or cracked bone injury. The skin around the injury
is not broken.
Kaupapa Māori refers to a view held by Māori of their natural world, and their place
within it.
Lacerations refers to when the skin is torn irregularly by contact with some object or
animal. There wounds tend to bleed less severely than incised wounds because torn
blood vessels contract more quickly. Clotting is relatively easy across the jagged
edges.
