This standard asks you to show understanding of the main themes, stories, and ideas (called "ariā") within Māori music and performing arts (toi puoro). You need to connect these themes to the context they come from—whether that's iwi stories, mythology, nature, social issues, or other cultural knowledge. You can demonstrate this through talking, writing, performing, or making music.
