Explanatory notes
1 Local iwi or hapu curriculum aims and objectives take precedence with this unit standard.
2 The context of the inquiries required should begin with the local rohe or takiwa.
Where local rohe are also occupied by a number of other iwi or hapu, the tangata whenua or mana whenua view will take precedence. Other iwi or hapu views should be encouraged in order to enrich and enhance understanding of key Māori kaupapa, tikanga and take.
