Explanatory notes
1Where the local rohe is occupied by a number of iwi or hapū, the tangata whenua or mana whenua view will take precedence. Other iwi or hapū views should be encouraged in order to enrich and enhance understanding of key Māori concepts and practices.
2Aroha – was described by the late John Rangihau (Tūhoe) as the main underpinning concept that bound all aspects of Māoritanga together.Aroha may be defined as empathy and love.Aroha is an attitude and an important cultural value of the Māori, derived from a particular Māori view of the natural world and the place of Māori within it. Aroha is an important concept that underpins a Māori environmental management system.
