Taonga Tuku Iho, Traditional Mäori Culture, the first category of the New Zealand Framework for Cultural Statistics Te Anga Tatauranga Tikanga-ä-iwi, provides a framework for statistics on aspects of New Zealand culture that are uniquely Mäori. The category covers mätauranga Mäori (learning about traditional Mäori customs, practices, history or beliefs); marae; wähi taonga (sites of historical importance to Mäori); and taonga (items relating to Mäori ancestral treasures). Taonga Tuku Iho was developed by a working group established by Statistics New Zealand’s Mäori
Statistics Forum.
This report shows the changes in levels and distribution of employment in the cultural sector, highlighting the rapid growth and diversity within this sector. Demographics such as age, ethnicity, income, gender and education within each group are also examined.
