Māori behaviour: A synopsis Māori can be expected to arrange their referred pursuits in ways that give expression to kaupapa tuku iho and tikanga selected for their efficiency or optimality in giving expression to kaupapa tuku iho
Māori behaviour: A synopsis (2) • Whereas Māori are determined to survive as a people; • Whereas survival as a people will be happening when communities of Māori find the expression of kaupapa tuku uplifting, rewarding and preferred • Whereas it is possible to actively pursue the expression of kaupapa tuku iho through tikanga selected by the community • Whereas the pursuit of tikanga can be planned and measured; Then, the wellness of Māori can be measured by identifying their preferred tikanga and measuring the levels at which these tikanga are displayed. Māori aspiration and Māori action
Kia Māori • Te kākano i ruia mai i Rangiatea will be thinking, speaking and behaving as Maori with such fluency and fluidity that the prospects of our survival as a people will be enhanced beyond the threat of extinction.
