Setting your objectives
The first step is setting an objective. Put simply, what do iwi and hapū want to achieve with the Māori language? This question can be looked at in a number of ways. It is possible for you to set your objective in terms of;
- numbers; how many iwi and hapū members speak Māori?
- locations; where do iwi and hapū members speak Māori?
- tikanga; can we perform certain tikanga in Māori (eg karanga, whaikōrero, waiata at marae)
The objective must be expressed clearly and succinctly. Then, explain the objective to iwi and hapū members so that they can see how they are involved.
Some useful information about setting Māori language objectives for iwi and hapū can be found in;
