p.000012: Tikanga
p.000012:
p.000012: The primary indigenous reference for Māori values and ethics are the creation stories which highlight
p.000012: specific relationships deemed fundamental to the sustainability of life. These relationships are embedded as
p.000012: kawa (primary values) and provide the foundation for the establishment of tikanga.
p.000012:
p.000012: Ethics is about values, and ethical behaviour reflects values held by people at large. For Māori, ethics is about
p.000012: ‘tikanga’- for tikanga reflects our values, our beliefs and the way we view the world8.
p.000012:
p.000012: Tikanga are locally specific practices that aim to enhance these relationships and ensure the preservation of mana
p.000012: (justice and equity, reflected through power and authority). As the environment changes or new situations arise,
p.000012: tikanga are enacted or adapted to provide context-specific responses. Kawa and tikanga provide the primary
p.000012: interface for accessing repositories of cultural knowledge and experience that can be used to inform
p.000012: ethical deliberations. Tikanga also provides a framework through which Māori can actively engage with
p.000012: ethical issues and consider the effect research may have on their values or relationships.

p.000012: Background to the guidelines and the framework
p.000012:
p.000012: The framework presented in this guideline recognises the broad range of ethical issues identified in
p.000012: previous documents, particularly in the context of health research. The main principles are drawn from tikanga Māori
p.000012: and its philosophical base of mātauranga Māori (traditional knowledge), but also integrate understandings from
p.000012: the Treaty of Waitangi, indigenous values and Western ethical principles.
p.000012:
p.000012: This framework aims to focus the ethical deliberation towards a more constructive critique of research in terms of
p.000012: not only its ability to identify risks but its potential to enhance relationships through the creation of
p.000012: positive outcomes for Māori communities. Concepts of justice and reciprocity are important for identifying
p.000012: tangible outcomes for all parties and supporting more equitable benefit sharing.
p.000012:
p.000012: The framework also advocates for constructive relationships and acknowledges the roles, relationships and
p.000012: responsibilities each party has in the process of engagement.
p.000012:
p.000012: 4 Te Ara Tika
p.000012:
p.000012: The framework considers that both the research design and the cultural and social responsibility of the
p.000012: researchers have an immediate influence on the likely outcomes of the research project and should be considered during
p.000012: ethical deliberations.

p.000012: Manaakitanga – Mā wai e manaaki tēnei kaupapa?39
p.000012:
p.000012: The concept of manaakitanga encompasses a range of meanings in a traditional sense with a central focus on ensuring
p.000012: the mana of both parties is upheld. In this context it is associated with notions of cultural and social
p.000012: responsibility40 and respect for persons41.
p.000012:
p.000012: Minimum Standard: Cultural Sensitivity
p.000012:
p.000012: The minimum standard for manaakitanga acknowledges a persons inherent dignity42 and the responsibility that people
p.000012: have to act in a caring manner towards others. The responsibility to protect and care for people with aroha
p.000012: and be aware of issues of cultural sensitivity comes to the fore. In this context it includes access to appropriate
p.000012: advice (e.g. kaumātua (elder), advocate)43 44 and respect for concepts of privacy and confidentiality45.

p.000012: Questions asked should include:
p.000012: • are the participants being treated with dignity and respect?
p.000012: • will the participants have access to appropriate advice?
p.000012: • is privacy and confidentiality being applied appropriately?
p.000012:
p.000012: Good Practice: Cultural safety
p.000012:
p.000012: A better standard of manaakitanga or cultural and social responsibility can be achieved by recognizing, in addition to
p.000012: the issues above, the importance of collective participation in establishing the goals and benefits (tūmanako)46 47
p.000012: 48 of a research project and its culturally safe implementation49. This is enhanced by considering the inclusion of
p.000012: Māori values and concepts50 51 52 53 54 indigenous values and concepts, and allowing for the use of whānau
p.000012: support55 56 and appropriate Māori protocols57.

p.000012: Special ethical considerations
p.000012:
p.000012: This section outlines areas of special ethical consideration.
p.000012:
p.000012: Collection and use of human tissue
p.000012: The body is considered tapu by Māori and Indigenous people generally. Researchers involved in health or
p.000012: medical research that involves the body, or any part of the body, such as organs, blood, hair, saliva and/or
p.000012: other tissue, must do so in a respectful manner. The collection of human tissue is particularly sensitive when
p.000012: it involves the use of a deceased person’s tissue.
p.000012:
p.000012: Genetic research
p.000012: Genetic research is an area of prime sensitivity for Māori because of the association with whakapapa. Communities are
p.000012: also concerned about new technologies and research in areas such as genetic engineering, the creation of
p.000012: transgenic life-forms, and human genome research investigating human variation and diversity in indigenous
p.000012: populations. Researchers should be aware of the following issues:
p.000012:
p.000012: Informed consent
p.000012: Concerns have been expressed about the nature and specificity of consent obtained in the informed consent process. In
p.000012: particular, explicit consents should be sought for:
p.000012:
p.000012: • ongoing storage in tissue banks
p.000012: • the establishment of cell lines
p.000012: • tissue being sent overseas
p.000012: • use within genetic studies
p.000012: • future use
p.000012:
p.000012: Māori favour the recognition of both individual and collective consents as some ethical issues can be
p.000012: usefully considered and consented to by an individual and other ethical issues require community
p.000012: engagement. A collective is likely to be involved in early decisions about the appropriateness of the study
p.000012: while an individual can decide once the study has begun whether or not they will participate89. This means
p.000012: that two forms of consent are required for research involving human tissue and/or genetic samples. Firstly, that of
p.000012: an appropriate community/collective for the study to take place (via consultation) and secondly, those of individual
p.000012: Māori participating in the study.
p.000012:
p.000012: On-going communication with donors/participants
p.000012: Beyond the initial consent process, it is also important to provide a communication channel so that donors
p.000012: and their families are able to find out what has happened to their tissue and for which research projects it has been
...

p.000012: made it possible to examine complex conditions influenced by multiple genes and environmental
p.000012: factors to determine population susceptibility.

p.000012:
p.000012: 16 Te Ara Tika
p.000012:
p.000012: The association of genetic or biological susceptibility to disease with ethnicity is problematic for population based
p.000012: research. Due care should be taken when conducting ethnic specific analyses, particularly in genetic studies, as
p.000012: there is always the potential for community disruption, stigmatisation, stereotyping or undermining either
p.000012: through research processes or outcomes90. Care needs to be taken to avoid such harms through the use of
p.000012: incorrect terminology, for example ‘Māori genes’.
p.000012:
p.000012: Intellectual property
p.000012: Māori continue to assert their cultural and intellectual property (IP) rights through a range of mechanisms; the
p.000012: Treaty of Waitangi (article two: protection of taonga (resources), the United Nations Declaration on the
p.000012: Rights of Indigenous Peoples91, the Waitangi Tribunal (Wai 262)92 and the Mataatua Declaration93 (an
p.000012: affirmation of kaitiakitanga in relation to the intellectual property rights of Māori).
p.000012:
p.000012: Of particular concern to Māori is research that involves the use of traditional plants and other natural resources.
p.000012: Specific concerns for Māori arise from the claiming of intellectual property over natural and cultural
p.000012: properties, and the exclusionary nature of these IP provisions. Traditional uses should never be impacted by IP
p.000012: patents.
p.000012:
p.000012: Opportunities for the sharing of new intellectual property with Maori communities should be facilitated particularly
p.000012: where Maori analyses have contributed to the development of the intellectual property.
p.000012:
p.000012: Representation
p.000012: Māori ethics committee members, along with their respective colleagues need to assess the appropriateness
p.000012: of consulted parties and determine whether there are other potential organisations that should
p.000012: have been part of the engagement process. The following table identifies some criteria for assessing the
p.000012: appropriateness of the representative body.

p.000012: range of outcomes and part of the ethical deliberation is to consider the nature of the outcomes (risk
p.000012: versus benefit, short versus long term) and their relative distribution (researchers, participants, communities,
p.000012: society). Researchers will legitimately benefit from being involved in research but consideration should be given to
p.000012: how participants and their communities might also benefit from participation.

p.000012: The framework presented in this guideline recognises the broad range of ethical issues identified in
p.000012: previous documents, particularly in the context of health research. The main principles are drawn from tikanga Māori
p.000012: and its philosophical base of mātauranga Māori (traditional knowledge), but also integrate understandings from
p.000012: the Treaty of Waitangi, indigenous values and Western ethical principles.
p.000012:
p.000012: This framework aims to focus the ethical deliberation towards a more constructive critique of research in terms of
p.000012: not only its ability to identify risks but its potential to enhance relationships through the creation of
p.000012: positive outcomes for Māori communities. Concepts of justice and reciprocity are important for identifying
p.000012: tangible outcomes for all parties and supporting more equitable benefit sharing.

p.000012: Purpose
p.000012:
p.000012: Articulating the ethical dimensions of tikanga as they relate to particular research proposals is
p.000012: a necessary step to support Māori members of ethics committees to fulfil their kaitiaki (guardian/advocate)
p.000012: responsibilities. It should also be of assistance to ethics committees in the course of the ethical
p.000012: deliberations and researchers more generally as a guide to Māori ethical understandings and perspectives. It
p.000012: will improve the capacity of key personnel within the system of ethical review to respond more appropriately to
p.000012: Māori issues and, in doing so, enhance Māori communities’ confidence and trust in the decisions made by both
p.000012: institutional and health and disability ethics committees. In summary, this framework has four main objectives:
p.000012:
p.000012: • to explain key ethical concepts for Māori;
p.000012: • to support decision-making around Māori ethical issues;
p.000012: • to identify ways to address Māori ethical concerns, and
p.000012: • to clarify the kaitiaki roles of Māori ethics committee members.
p.000012:

p.000012:
p.000012: • to explain key ethical concepts for Māori;
p.000012: • to support decision-making around Māori ethical issues;
p.000012: • to identify ways to address Māori ethical concerns, and
p.000012: • to clarify the kaitiaki roles of Māori ethics committee members.
p.000012:

p.000012: Background to the guidelines and the framework
p.000012:
p.000012: The framework presented in this guideline recognises the broad range of ethical issues identified in
p.000012: previous documents, particularly in the context of health research. The main principles are drawn from tikanga Māori
p.000012: and its philosophical base of mātauranga Māori (traditional knowledge), but also integrate understandings from
p.000012: the Treaty of Waitangi, indigenous values and Western ethical principles.
p.000012:
p.000012: This framework aims to focus the ethical deliberation towards a more constructive critique of research in terms of
p.000012: not only its ability to identify risks but its potential to enhance relationships through the creation of
p.000012: positive outcomes for Māori communities. Concepts of justice and reciprocity are important for identifying
p.000012: tangible outcomes for all parties and supporting more equitable benefit sharing.
p.000012:
p.000012: The framework also advocates for constructive relationships and acknowledges the roles, relationships and
p.000012: responsibilities each party has in the process of engagement.

p.000012: should be used in conjunction with the Ministry of Health’s Operational Standard for Ethics Committees
p.000012: (2006) and the majority of the concepts and issues identified within the Māori ethical framework are
p.000012: referenced within the Operational Standard for Ethics Committees. To gain a fuller appreciation of Māori ethical
p.000012: concepts, issues and concerns, additional training should be undertaken.

p.002009: Research where Māori are involved as participants or subjects, or possibly as junior members of a research team;
p.002009: Research where Māori data is sought and analysed; Research where Māori may be trained in contemporary research methods
p.002009: and mainstream analysis.
p.002009: Research where Māori are significant participants, and are typically senior members of research teams; Research where a
p.002009: Māori analysis is undertaken and which produces Māori knowledge, albeit measured against mainstream standards for
p.002009: research.
p.002009: Research where Māori are significant participants, and where the research team is typically all Māori; Research where a

p.000012:
p.000012: Respectful relations with Māori and mana whenua (regional authority) are vital in all research projects,
p.000012: whatever approach the research team decides to use. There are a continuum of approaches to research,
p.000012: each with varying degrees of responsiveness to Māori which reflect the responsibilities, roles,
p.000012: rights of researchers and Māori communities. In this framework approaches to research design, Kaupapa
p.000012: Māori, Māori- centred, and Mainstream, (see Appendix C) are considered in relation to the Treaty of
p.000012: Waitangi principles of partnership, participation and protection.
p.000012:
p.000012: Minimum standard: Mainstream
p.000012:
p.000012: A mainstream approach refers to research that may or may not have direct relevance to Māori and where Māori engage as
p.000012: research participants. In these situations researchers are expected to protect the rights and interests
p.000012: of Māori although there is little real involvement in the research process or outcomes. Using this research
p.000012: approach, a number of factors need to be considered when designing the research project including defining the
p.000012: purpose of the project22 23 and its relevance to Māori goals24 25. If Māori are involved as participants26 then
p.000012: it is important to consider the recruitment methods, for example kanohi-ki-te-kanohi (face to face) and the
p.000012: sampling frameworks, and whether it is relevant and appropriate to collect ethnicity data27. In this regard
p.000012: the collection of ethnicity data may not be of primary use to the research proposal itself but can provide valuable
p.000012: baseline data for other researchers or Māori communities.
p.000012:
p.000012: Questions asked should include:
p.000012: • In what way does this research project impact on Māori?
p.000012: • How will Māori be included in this project? Is this appropriate and respectful?
p.000012: • Do I need to consult with Māori for this project? If so, how do I do that?
p.000012:
p.000012: Good Practice: Māori-centred
p.000012:
p.000012: Research designs that give Māori a greater level of participation within the research process are
p.000012: encouraged. Māori-centred research involves Māori as significant participants in various roles, including research
p.000012: team and participants, and possibly analysis and outcomes. Issues to be considered when using this
p.000012: research approach include Māori involvement in research design28 29, the role of mentors and
p.000012: Māori researcher development30, use of sampling frameworks that allow equal explanatory power31 and Māori
p.000012: involvement in analysis32 33.
p.000012:
p.000012: Questions of relevance include:
p.000012: • how will Māori be involved in this project? As researchers, participants, advisors?
p.000012: • how will this research project benefit Māori in all of the above?
p.000012: • is there adequate participation of Māori in different stages of the research project, including research design,

p.000012:
p.000012: The framework presented in this guideline recognises the broad range of ethical issues identified in
p.000012: previous documents, particularly in the context of health research. The main principles are drawn from tikanga Māori
p.000012: and its philosophical base of mātauranga Māori (traditional knowledge), but also integrate understandings from
p.000012: the Treaty of Waitangi, indigenous values and Western ethical principles.
p.000012:
p.000012: This framework aims to focus the ethical deliberation towards a more constructive critique of research in terms of
p.000012: not only its ability to identify risks but its potential to enhance relationships through the creation of
p.000012: positive outcomes for Māori communities. Concepts of justice and reciprocity are important for identifying
p.000012: tangible outcomes for all parties and supporting more equitable benefit sharing.
p.000012:
p.000012: The framework also advocates for constructive relationships and acknowledges the roles, relationships and
p.000012: responsibilities each party has in the process of engagement.

p.000012: Special ethical considerations
p.000012:
p.000012: This section outlines areas of special ethical consideration.
p.000012:
p.000012: Collection and use of human tissue
p.000012: The body is considered tapu by Māori and Indigenous people generally. Researchers involved in health or
p.000012: medical research that involves the body, or any part of the body, such as organs, blood, hair, saliva and/or
...

p.000012: included. This provides a mechanism for donors/participants to vary or withdraw their consent both for the actual study
p.000012: and future studies (if so consented).
p.000012:
p.000012: Interpretation of results
p.000012: Early genetic research focused on identifying single genes responsible for specific familial disorders. However,
p.000012: radical technological advancements such as high throughput testing and genome-wide scanning techniques have
p.000012: made it possible to examine complex conditions influenced by multiple genes and environmental
p.000012: factors to determine population susceptibility.

p.000012: 16 Te Ara Tika
p.000012:
p.000012: The association of genetic or biological susceptibility to disease with ethnicity is problematic for population based
p.000012: research. Due care should be taken when conducting ethnic specific analyses, particularly in genetic studies, as
p.000012: there is always the potential for community disruption, stigmatisation, stereotyping or undermining either
p.000012: through research processes or outcomes90. Care needs to be taken to avoid such harms through the use of
p.000012: incorrect terminology, for example ‘Māori genes’.
p.000012:
p.000012: Intellectual property
p.000012: Māori continue to assert their cultural and intellectual property (IP) rights through a range of mechanisms; the
p.000012: Treaty of Waitangi (article two: protection of taonga (resources), the United Nations Declaration on the
p.000012: Rights of Indigenous Peoples91, the Waitangi Tribunal (Wai 262)92 and the Mataatua Declaration93 (an
p.000012: affirmation of kaitiakitanga in relation to the intellectual property rights of Māori).
p.000012:
p.000012: Of particular concern to Māori is research that involves the use of traditional plants and other natural resources.
p.000012: Specific concerns for Māori arise from the claiming of intellectual property over natural and cultural
p.000012: properties, and the exclusionary nature of these IP provisions. Traditional uses should never be impacted by IP
p.000012: patents.
p.000012:
p.000012: Opportunities for the sharing of new intellectual property with Maori communities should be facilitated particularly
p.000012: where Maori analyses have contributed to the development of the intellectual property.
p.000012:
p.000012: Representation
p.000012: Māori ethics committee members, along with their respective colleagues need to assess the appropriateness
p.000012: of consulted parties and determine whether there are other potential organisations that should
p.000012: have been part of the engagement process. The following table identifies some criteria for assessing the
p.000012: appropriateness of the representative body.

p.000012: Benefit sharing
p.000012: Equity and justice are ethical principles underpinning the importance of benefit-sharing. Research will also have a
p.000012: range of outcomes and part of the ethical deliberation is to consider the nature of the outcomes (risk
p.000012: versus benefit, short versus long term) and their relative distribution (researchers, participants, communities,
p.000012: society). Researchers will legitimately benefit from being involved in research but consideration should be given to
p.000012: how participants and their communities might also benefit from participation.

p.000012: Implementation
p.000012:
p.000012: This framework helps to clarify key ethical concepts for Māori and in doing so supports decision-making around Māori
p.000012: ethical issues. It does not replace ethical deliberation but enhances the process by framing Māori ethical
p.000012: issues in a way that aligns to the expectations of Māori communities. The Māori ethical framework
p.000012: should be used in conjunction with the Ministry of Health’s Operational Standard for Ethics Committees
p.000012: (2006) and the majority of the concepts and issues identified within the Māori ethical framework are
p.000012: referenced within the Operational Standard for Ethics Committees. To gain a fuller appreciation of Māori ethical
p.000012: concepts, issues and concerns, additional training should be undertaken.

p.000012: (research design), manaakitanga (cultural and social responsibility), and mana (justice and equity) as the
p.000012: primary ethical principles in relation to research ethics. Other ethical concepts and principles are
p.000012: located within this framework and the ethical issues within each segment are identified and cross-referenced to
p.000012: the Ministry of Health’s Operational Standard for Ethics Committees10.
p.000012:
p.000012: Each segment is divided into three parts that identify progressive expectations of ethical behaviour. The outer
p.000012: quadrant relates to what has been termed minimum standards. The minimum standards are expected to have been met by
p.000012: researchers before ethics committee members consider ethical approval for the research project. The middle quadrant
p.000012: refers to good practice which indicates a more Māori responsive approach to the research project. Best practice
p.000012: extends the ethical consideration to align with expectations of behaviour within Te Ao Māori.
p.000012:
p.000012: The axis between the segments provides further opportunity to link the ethical issues to the rights, roles and
p.000012: responsibilities associated with the Treaty of Waitangi, the principles themselves (partnership, participation
p.000012: and protection), a risk/benefit/outcome continuum, and the Māori values of whakapono (faith), tūmanako
p.000012: (aspirations) and aroha (awareness).

p.000012: • does the researcher have a good track record?
p.000012:
p.000012: Good Practice: Engagement
p.000012:
p.000012: We encourage researchers to move beyond consultation and look to substantial and positive engagement with
p.000012: Māori communities. This will ensure that Māori participation in the research project aligns with their tūmanako
p.000012: (aspirations) and tangible benefits are derived. Where research is clearly Māori centred and displays a
p.000012: focus on generating answers to questions that are of particular relevance and importance to Māori then
p.000012: additional features in the research protocol will be expected in terms of cultural safety and research design.
p.000012:
p.000012: Questions of relevance include:
p.000012: • what is the evidence for engagement with Māori and what was the shape, time scale and extent of
p.000012: this?
p.000012: • how has the consent issue been dealt with and is the mode of informed consent suggested

p.000012:
p.000012: Best Practice: Kaitiaki
p.000012:
p.000012: A best practice level of ‘relationship’ empowers Māori to take a kaitiaki role within the research project with a
p.000012: view to ensuring that tangible outcomes are realised within Māori communities. A relationship displaying transparency,
p.000012: good faith, fairness and truthfulness is captured in the concept of whakapono (hope) and the whakatauki (proverb) “kia
p.000012: u ki te whakapono, kia aroha tetahi ki tetahi” (Hold strong to your beliefs and care for one another). Where research
p.000012: is framed by tenets of kaupapa Māori the above sets of requirements will be augmented by clear evidence that

p.000012: approach, a number of factors need to be considered when designing the research project including defining the

p.000012: Best practice: Mana whakahaere
p.000012:
p.000012: In regard to research mana whakahaere refers to the sharing of power and control in the research relationship with
p.000012: hapū, iwi or relevant Māori communities who assume the responsibility for the outcomes of the project. This
p.000012: presupposes engagement with Māori as mana whenua. Mana whakahaere represents Māori control within the research project
p.000012: and includes acknowledgement of iwi intellectual property84, their knowledge systems (Mātauranga Māori)85,

p.000012: • Knowledge advancement, for example research outputs, hui and wānanga
p.000012: • Inclusiveness and diversity within the research system
p.000012:
p.000012: Implementation
p.000012:
p.000012: This framework helps to clarify key ethical concepts for Māori and in doing so supports decision-making around Māori
p.000012: ethical issues. It does not replace ethical deliberation but enhances the process by framing Māori ethical
p.000012: issues in a way that aligns to the expectations of Māori communities. The Māori ethical framework
p.000012: should be used in conjunction with the Ministry of Health’s Operational Standard for Ethics Committees
p.000012: (2006) and the majority of the concepts and issues identified within the Māori ethical framework are
p.000012: referenced within the Operational Standard for Ethics Committees. To gain a fuller appreciation of Māori ethical
p.000012: concepts, issues and concerns, additional training should be undertaken.

p.000012: Introduction
p.000012:
p.000012: This document outlines a framework for addressing Māori ethical issues within the context of
p.000012: decision-making by ethics committee members. It draws on a foundation of tikanga Māori (Māori protocols
p.000012: and practices) and will be useful for researchers, ethics committee members and those who engage in
p.000012: consultation or advice about Māori ethical issues from a local, regional, national or international perspective.
p.000012:
p.000012: Context
p.000012:
p.000012: Research contributes to the broader development objectives of society. Ethics has a specific role in guiding key
p.000012: behaviours, processes and methodologies used in research. International codes of ethics such as the
p.000012: Nuremburg Code (1947)2, the Helsinki Declaration (1964)3, the Belmont Report (1979)4 and, more recently, the UNESCO
p.000012: Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights (2005)5 shape the changing ethical standards
p.000012: and professional expectations for researchers.
p.000012:
p.000012: These codes have often been developed in response to examples of research that resulted in adverse outcomes and/or
p.000012: experiences for participants and their communities. Despite formal processes and codes of ethics there is
p.000012: ongoing evidence of unethical research practice which highlights the importance of the researcher’s own
p.000012: credibility, trust, honesty and integrity vis-à-vis6 the research project and participants.
p.000012:
p.000012: Over the years Māori have contributed to the critiques of research practice and advocated for the inclusion of
p.000012: tikanga Māori as part of formal ethical decision-making processes (Appendix A). There are a range of
p.000012: models of Māori research ethics which guide researchers and ensure that tikanga and cultural concepts are
p.000012: acknowledged (Appendix B).
p.000012:
p.000012: The Treaty of Waitangi principles of partnership, participation and protection provide a framework for identifying
p.000012: Māori ethical issues in terms of; rights, roles and responsibilities of researchers and Māori communities; the
p.000012: contribution that research makes towards providing useful and relevant outcomes; and addressing inequalities. All
p.000012: research in New Zealand is of interest to Māori, and research which includes Māori is of paramount
p.000012: importance to Māori.
p.000012:
p.000012: In a research context, to ignore the reality of inter-cultural difference is to live with outdated
p.000012: notions of scientific investigation. It is also likely to hamper the conduct of research, and limit the
p.000012: capacity of research to improve human development7.

p.000012:
p.000012: The primary indigenous reference for Māori values and ethics are the creation stories which highlight
p.000012: specific relationships deemed fundamental to the sustainability of life. These relationships are embedded as
p.000012: kawa (primary values) and provide the foundation for the establishment of tikanga.
p.000012:
p.000012: Ethics is about values, and ethical behaviour reflects values held by people at large. For Māori, ethics is about
p.000012: ‘tikanga’- for tikanga reflects our values, our beliefs and the way we view the world8.
p.000012:
p.000012: Tikanga are locally specific practices that aim to enhance these relationships and ensure the preservation of mana
p.000012: (justice and equity, reflected through power and authority). As the environment changes or new situations arise,
p.000012: tikanga are enacted or adapted to provide context-specific responses. Kawa and tikanga provide the primary
p.000012: interface for accessing repositories of cultural knowledge and experience that can be used to inform
p.000012: ethical deliberations. Tikanga also provides a framework through which Māori can actively engage with
p.000012: ethical issues and consider the effect research may have on their values or relationships.
p.000012:
p.000012: Purpose
p.000012:
p.000012: Articulating the ethical dimensions of tikanga as they relate to particular research proposals is
p.000012: a necessary step to support Māori members of ethics committees to fulfil their kaitiaki (guardian/advocate)
p.000012: responsibilities. It should also be of assistance to ethics committees in the course of the ethical
p.000012: deliberations and researchers more generally as a guide to Māori ethical understandings and perspectives. It
p.000012: will improve the capacity of key personnel within the system of ethical review to respond more appropriately to
p.000012: Māori issues and, in doing so, enhance Māori communities’ confidence and trust in the decisions made by both
p.000012: institutional and health and disability ethics committees. In summary, this framework has four main objectives:
p.000012:
p.000012: • to explain key ethical concepts for Māori;
p.000012: • to support decision-making around Māori ethical issues;
p.000012: • to identify ways to address Māori ethical concerns, and
p.000012: • to clarify the kaitiaki roles of Māori ethics committee members.
p.000012:
p.000012: There have been consistent messages about the dual responsibilities of Māori ethics committee members. As
p.000012: defined by the Ministry of Health’s Operational Standard for Ethics Committees (2006)9 the Māori ethics
p.000012: committee member sits alongside other members of the committee to implement the principles of ethical review.

p.000012: Background to the guidelines and the framework
p.000012:
p.000012: The framework presented in this guideline recognises the broad range of ethical issues identified in
p.000012: previous documents, particularly in the context of health research. The main principles are drawn from tikanga Māori
p.000012: and its philosophical base of mātauranga Māori (traditional knowledge), but also integrate understandings from
p.000012: the Treaty of Waitangi, indigenous values and Western ethical principles.
p.000012:
p.000012: This framework aims to focus the ethical deliberation towards a more constructive critique of research in terms of
p.000012: not only its ability to identify risks but its potential to enhance relationships through the creation of
p.000012: positive outcomes for Māori communities. Concepts of justice and reciprocity are important for identifying
p.000012: tangible outcomes for all parties and supporting more equitable benefit sharing.
p.000012:
p.000012: The framework also advocates for constructive relationships and acknowledges the roles, relationships and
p.000012: responsibilities each party has in the process of engagement.
p.000012:
p.000012: 4 Te Ara Tika
p.000012:
p.000012: The framework considers that both the research design and the cultural and social responsibility of the
p.000012: researchers have an immediate influence on the likely outcomes of the research project and should be considered during
p.000012: ethical deliberations.

p.000012: Figure 2: Māori ethical framework
p.000012:
p.000012: The Māori ethics framework references four tikanga based principles (whakapapa (relationships), tika
p.000012: (research design), manaakitanga (cultural and social responsibility), and mana (justice and equity) as the
p.000012: primary ethical principles in relation to research ethics. Other ethical concepts and principles are
p.000012: located within this framework and the ethical issues within each segment are identified and cross-referenced to
p.000012: the Ministry of Health’s Operational Standard for Ethics Committees10.
p.000012:
p.000012: Each segment is divided into three parts that identify progressive expectations of ethical behaviour. The outer
p.000012: quadrant relates to what has been termed minimum standards. The minimum standards are expected to have been met by
p.000012: researchers before ethics committee members consider ethical approval for the research project. The middle quadrant
p.000012: refers to good practice which indicates a more Māori responsive approach to the research project. Best practice
p.000012: extends the ethical consideration to align with expectations of behaviour within Te Ao Māori.
p.000012:
p.000012: The axis between the segments provides further opportunity to link the ethical issues to the rights, roles and
p.000012: responsibilities associated with the Treaty of Waitangi, the principles themselves (partnership, participation
p.000012: and protection), a risk/benefit/outcome continuum, and the Māori values of whakapono (faith), tūmanako
p.000012: (aspirations) and aroha (awareness).

p.000012: The process of ethical review can be thought of in terms of tapu (restricted) and noa (unrestricted).

p.000012: benefit of a research project. Kia āta-whakaaro (precise analysis) and kia āta-korero (robust discussion)
p.000012: of the practical/ethical/spiritual dimensions of any project is necessary to provide a foundation to kia

p.000012:
p.000012: Whakapapa is used to explain both the genesis and purpose of any particular kaupapa (topic/purpose).
p.000012: Whakapapa is an analytical tool for not only understanding why relationships have been formed but
p.000012: also monitoring how the relationships progress and develop over time (mai i te whai ao ki te ao mārama).
p.000012: Within the context of decision- making about ethics, whakapapa refers to quality of relationships and the
