Te whakaatu māramatanga ki tā te Māori pāhekoheko ki te ao tūroa
This standard is about showing you understand how Māori relate to and care for the natural and spiritual world around them. You'll explore the core Māori ideas that guide this relationship — like kaitiakitanga (guardianship), tapu/noa, and mana — and learn how these ideas connect to Māori protocols (tikanga), sacred practices (kawa), and the genealogy of the atua (gods/divine forces).
You correctly identify the main Māori ideas about relating to the world, describe relevant tikanga and kawa, and outline basic whakapapa of the atua.
You show clear connections between the core ideas and the tikanga/kawa that express them, and explain the roles and relationships within the atua genealogy.
You explain why tikanga matter by linking them back to the core Māori concepts, and you demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of how the atua relate to each other across different contexts and places.
