Definitions
Tikanga and kawa – the context of the inquiries are limited to the 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 kaupapa,
tikanga, kawa and take.
Role and function – are all of the roles, duties, and functions that Māori women
perform in the marae context.
Whakapapa – refers to genealogy, a concept integral to the study of Māori history.
Whakapapa shows the chronology of Māori history, the whakapapa links between
people involved in the same historical event and, most importantly, historical links
between tūpuna, atua and people alive today. The histories of whānau, hapū and iwi
are inter-related and these provide the basis of whakapapa.

Before the arrival of European settlers, people knew themselves, and were known by
others, as members of a tribe or sub-tribe, linked by common descent from founding
ancestors. Therefore, the phrase ‘Māori history’ is often seen as a misnomer and the
phrase ‘tribal history’ is the preferred term. However, the study of post European
contact history can be viewed from the perspective of both Māori and tribal history
because many of the historical events have had an impact on all Māori.
