Te tūhura i tētahi hangarau taketake
You'll investigate a traditional Māori craft or technique to understand how it works and what makes it special. You need to research your chosen craft (like basket weaving, flax work, or carving), explain its important features clearly, and show how Māori knowledge guides the whole process—whether you use traditional or modern materials doesn't matter as long as Māori wisdom leads the way.
You choose a Māori craft, research its key features carefully, and explain those features so others can understand what makes it work and why it matters.
You go deeper by explaining the features in more detail, drawing on different sources of information, and showing how your understanding connects to Māori knowledge and practice.
You explain the features in sophisticated depth, carefully document your decisions and methods with evidence, and organize your research presentation in a polished way that clearly shows your thinking throughout.
