You need to perform a haka (or other Te Ao Haka item) that tells a story or communicates an idea that matters to you locally—this could be tied to your whānau, iwi, hapū, or a place that's meaningful to you. Your performance needs to show you understand the kaupapa (topic/purpose) you're expressing, using the proper movements, voice, and actions that are part of Te Ao Haka.

- ·Demonstrate that you understand what the kaupapa means through how you perform it
- ·Show the connection between the movements, voice, lyrics and the local kaupapa you've chosen
