 Matauranga Maori - Maori Knowledge encompasses all branches of Maori knowledge, past, present and still developing. It encompasses,philosophy, astronomy, mathematics, language, history, education, and environment. It is a body of knowledge handed down from one generation to the next. It is dynamic, being constantly enhanced and refined. Each generation of Maori makes its own contribution to matauranga Maori. It is knowledge from the beginning to the end.
