Te Tiriti o Waitangi obligations (records)

Recordkeeping must support Treaty-related rights and responsibilities, including appropriate access to information about Māori where it is taonga. This shapes how records are described, accessed, and preserved.

In practice

Recordkeeping must support Treaty-related rights and responsibilities, including appropriate access to information about Māori where it is taonga. This has practical effects on how records are described in metadata, accessed, and preserved; seek advice where settlement or taonga considerations apply. The Māori Data Governance Model and the principles of Te Mana Raraunga set out how this should work in practice.
