Tikanga Māori is rooted in whakapapa and Māori narratives and has its origins in the past. However, customary practices have never been static. They have evolved and continue to evolve as society changes. The same can be said about how these changes have influenced an evolving Māori identity.

The aims of this paper are:

• To expand on some of the basic understandings of significant concepts in a Māori worldview as introduced in MAORI102 (TIKA163) and MAORI150 (TTWA150);
• To expand on the basic understanding of Māori culture and society and identity as it has developed from the traditional to the contemporary context;
• To critically appraise Māori customary concepts and explore these through practical application of how these concepts are manifested.

This is a Trimester B paper made up of four contact hours per week (2 x 2 hour classes), with the expectation that five additional hours outside of class time is necessary to read, research and write per week.

The information to complete this paper will be delivered in four ways:

1. Through a series of face-to-face classes that will alert to the main themes and ideas associated with this paper;
2. Through class discussions that will enable students to explore these themes in a group setting drawing on your own observations, experiences and readings;
3. Through a programme of directed reading which should feed into class discussions and assignments. It is expected that all students will have read required readings from the course Reading List, the relevant material distributed in class or provided on Moodle prior to class so that we are able to discuss it;
4. Through online resources via Moodle.

All face-to-face classes will be Panopto recorded for further revision however it is strongly encouraged that students attend classes in person to get the most from class discussion and wānanga.

COVID-19 parameters: Although our priority is to conduct face-to-face classes, if we need to conduct any classes via Zoom, this will be communicated to students by the lecturer at the earliest opportunity via Moodle.
