Explanatory notes
1
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.
