Tikanga-ā-Iwi: tikanga, kawa and Māori community life

Tikanga-ā-Iwi is the learning area in Te Marautanga o Aotearoa that examines Māori society on its own terms: how hapū and iwi organise themselves, how customary practice shapes relationships, and how identity is carried through whakapapa, reo and whenua. At Level 1 the standards ask you to describe and explain practices using evidence from a real context - a named marae, a hapū, a rāhui - not to recite definitions. Whanaungatanga - kinship relationships and the obligations they carry; the reason a marae fills for a tangihanga. Whakapapa - genealogy as record and as framework, linking a person to maunga, awa, marae and tūrangawaewae, and often deciding who speaks and where.
