Tikanga Maori
“Your whakapapa gives you everything. It places you in
the context of the world and your own culture. You know
way way back, not only the immediate relatives and the
grandparents who may have died, but right back
through the tribes. So you are very firmly centred.”

“Children belong not only to their parents
but also to the whanau and beyond that
to the hapu and iwi. They are a ‘tatou
tamariki’ (the children of us many).”

persons” – s208
