Te whakapuaki whakaaro mō ngā tikanga, te kawa rānei, i tētahi ritenga Māori o mua
You need to identify and explain the customs (tikanga) and protocols (kawa) that were used in a specific Māori setting or occasion from the past, and say why those practices were important. You'll pick one real Māori gathering, event, or practice—like a tangihanga (funeral), hui (meeting), or going onto a marae—and show your understanding of how people behaved and why.
You identify the tikanga or kawa in your chosen Māori setting and explain why they were practised.
You describe the tikanga or kawa in detail, showing how they actually worked in practice and connecting them to the values they uphold.
You explain the tikanga or kawa with depth, make clear links to the reasons they existed, show how they shape behaviour, and acknowledge that practices vary across different iwi or regions.
