Explanatory notes

1 This unit standard is designed to assist the learner to identify the uniqueness of Māori culture. It is thought that Māori language expression will enable the learner to gain an understanding of the interconnectedness of Te Ao Māori. By understanding these aspects the learner will be able to explain these differences for manuhiri and highlight the significance for tourism.

2 Assessment The assessment context for this unit standard 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.
