Tikanga ā-Iwi

'Kāore i kotahi te whakahaere o ngā Tikanga ā-Iwi. He iwi anō me ōna tohunga me ōna tikanga me āna whakahaere. Hiki atu he iwi, pērā tonu. Nō reira, kia mau koe ki ōu ake. Mā ō rātou uri e mau ō rātou nā kōrero. Engari kia mau koe ki ngā kōrero a ōu mātua, a ōu tūpuna. Ina ka tika, ka waiho mai ētahi mātauranga hei taonga mōu.'
nā Te Whatahoro, 1865 

He aha te Tikanga ā-Iwi?

I puta ake te wairua o te Tikanga ā-Iwi i roto i ngā kupu a Te Whatahoro, arā, te āta titiro ki ngā āhuatanga huhua o te tangata e mārama ai te ākonga ki tōna ao. Ka tirohia ngā mahi a te tangata hei whakatutuki i ōna matea kikokiko, matea pāpori, matea ngākau, matea wairua hoki.

Ka ākona te kaupapa o te Tikanga ā-Iwi mai i te taumata 1 o te kura tuatahi ki te taumata 5 o te kura tuarua. He kōwhiringa te Tikanga ā-Iwi, te Hītori, te Matawhenua me te Ōhanga mai i te taumata 6 ki te taumata 8 o te kura tuarua.
