Tangata whenua/ Māori<br />
• “Illness, dying, death <strong>and</strong><br />
grieving are a central part <strong>of</strong><br />
Māori life – formal rituals <strong>and</strong><br />
practices are elaborate…karakia<br />
(invocations) <strong>and</strong> waiata<br />
(chants <strong>and</strong> songs) are<br />
symbolic <strong>and</strong> poetic,<br />
encouraging emotions to be<br />
openly expressed”<br />
