Tikanga

He whakamārama | Meaning E whai take ana, i takea mai i ngā pūtake e mōhiotia ana he pono, e whakaarotia ana rānei he pono, he tōtika. E ū ana ki te pono, e ū ana rānei ki ngā pūtake e mōhiotia ana, e whakaarotia ana rānei he pono. The concept of correctness or being right is a base principle that applies to all tikanga. Practice of a particular tikanga needs to be correct and right, and should be considered alongside what is true and valid to Māori culture.
