This standard asks you to analyse and explain how Māori culture influences Aotearoa's national identity. You need to discuss the main features of our identity from different perspectives, explain which aspects come directly from Māori culture and why, and then make an informed judgement about how strongly Māori culture shapes who we are as a nation—backing up your argument with evidence.
