Definitions

Workplace, for the purpose of this unit standard, does not just refer to an office, but to any context or setting in which the candidate is operating while performing the tasks or duties specified by their work. Working with tangata whenua takes place in a variety of settings. People must have an awareness of not only the tikanga pertaining to Māori people in general, but also the specific tikanga applying to the iwi and rohe-ā-takiwā in which they are working. People must be able to recognise language variations, differences in kawa and tikanga, and be aware of waiata pertaining to certain iwi and rohe-ā-takiwā.

The principles of the Treaty of Waitangi include:

Protection

Considered primarily in regard to the property interests guaranteed to Māori under Article II of the Treaty.

Active duty – that is, more than a passive obligation or recognition of right.

Extent of obligation depends on prevailing circumstances and vulnerability of the taonga in question.

Located in the fundamental exchange recorded in the Treaty – the cession of sovereignty for the guarantee of tino rangatiratanga.

Broad interpretation arising from the entire text of the Treaty:

–A duty to protect Māori as a people and as individuals, in addition to their property.

–Crown’s duty to actively protect tino rangatiratanga and Māori capacity to retain tribal authority over tribal affairs and to live according to their cultural preferences.

–Crown cannot avoid its duty by delegating its responsibility to local authorities or other bodies.

Partnership

The Treaty relationship is ‘akin to a partnership’.

Includes duties of good faith, reasonableness, and the honour of the Crown.

The Treaty partnership does not necessarily describe a relationship where the partners share national resources equally.

Derived from the principles of reciprocity and of mutual benefit.

Includes the obligation on both parties to act reasonably, honourably and in good faith.

Emphasises the need for recognition, respect, accountability, compromise and a balancing of interests.

Participation

An aspect of the obligation to act in good faith.

The duty to consult is not absolute.

Consultation is required on truly major issues.

Consultation should be conducted with ‘open-mindedness’ and ‘sufficient information’ to enable ‘intelligent and useful responses’.

Emphasises the value and utility of consultation in upholding and strengthening the Treaty partnership.

Consultation required on matters that infringe on tino rangatiratanga.

The degree and type of consultation required in a given instance may vary depending on what is needed for the Crown to make an informed decision.

Consultation processes should take into account Māori preferences.
