Abstract

This article explores tikanga in the District Court context. It explains that the incorporation of Te Reo Māori (Māori language) and tikanga Māori is relatively new in the District Court. It discusses the introduction of Te Ao Mārama and solution-focused judging approaches since 2020 and goes on to describe how tikanga might operate in a Te Ao Mārama context.

Keywords: Te Ao Mārama; tikanga; education; rangatahi; Te Reo Māori.
