This standard is about showing you understand how Māori relate to and care for the natural and spiritual world around them. You'll explore the core Māori ideas that guide this relationship — like kaitiakitanga (guardianship), tapu/noa, and mana — and learn how these ideas connect to Māori protocols (tikanga), sacred practices (kawa), and the genealogy of the atua (gods/divine forces).
