Structure of the document
To help explain the different parts of this document we have used
the metaphor of the areas of a marae.
These areas of the marae serve a particular purpose, linking
directly to the kawa (protocol) and tikanga (practice) of the local
tangata whenua.
Like the marae setting, this document purposefully arranges
the information according to:

of the action plan. TE WAHAROA
THE GATEWAY TO THE MARAE
It is customary for manuhiri (visitors) to gather at
the waharoa and await the call from the tangata
whenua (people of the land) to enter. The waharoa
provides the opportunity for manuhiri to briefly discuss
the issues of the day. The knowledge of the marae,
its tikanga (protocols), tīpuna or tūpuna (ancestors)
and history are also discussed. This will ensure that
those who reply to the karanga (call to enter) will
reply appropriately.
Using the metaphor of the waharoa, the following
section provides important background information
on the purpose and context of the action plan.
