He mea tino hira te whakaaetanga
mō te whakautu ki te pātai he aha tēnei mea te umanga Māori, he whakaaetanga
taketake mō te ine i ngā takoha a ngā umanga Māori ki te ōhanga o
Aotearoa, te kī a Tatauranga Aotearoa i te rangi nei.
E whakawhanake ana tētahi
rōpū mahi rāngai maha i tētahi tautuhitanga o tēnei mea te umanga
Māori. I whakaputaina te pūrongo e kīa nei Māori
business definition: Consultation findings | Te Tautuhitanga umanga Māori:
Ngā hua o te whakawhitiwhiti korero i
te rā nei, ā, i kitea tētahi tautoko torowhānui mō tētahi tautuhitanga
ka taea te whakaae tahi.
“Mā tētahi tautuhitanga
mārama, toitū, mō tēnei mea te umanga Māori, ka pūmau te kohi raraunga
me te whakapūrongo mō ngā umanga Māori, me tā rātou takoha ki te
ōhanga,” e ai ki a Rhonda Paku, te Kaihautū o Tatauranga Aotearoa.
I tāpaetia atu e te pūrongo
nei tētahi tautuhitanga kōkau hei toronga whakaaro ki te iwi nui tonu
i ngā marama o Whiringa-ā-rangi/Oketopa me Whiringa -ā-nuku/Nōema 2021,
ā, i whai i muri ko te kōrerorero ki ngā māngai o ngā umanga Māori
i roto i ngā wātū rōpū arotahi.
I inoi te uiuinga whakaaro
ki te iwi kia tukua mai he urupare mō te tautuhitanga e marohitia ana: Ko
tēnei mea te umanga Māori he umanga e puritia ana e tētahi tangata,
ētahi tāngata rānei he whakapapa Māori ōna, ā, e kī ana tētahi
kanohi o taua umanga, nāna anake te kī, he Māori taua umanga.
I whakaatu ngā urupare kua
whakaputaina i te pūrongo i te tautoko mō ngā paearu mō te whakapapa
me te kī a te tangata, he umanga Māori tōna, mō te tautuhitanga e marohitia
ana. Ahakoa tērā, i whakatairanga ngā urupare i te huhua o ngā aronga
mō te tautuhitanga i tēnei mea te umanga Māori.
“Kei te mihi a Tatauranga
Aotearoa me te rōpū mahi rāngai maha ki ngā tāngata katoa i tāpae
whakaaro mai mō te tautuhitanga e marohitia ana.”
Ko te tūmanako ka whakaputaina
te tautuhitanga whakamutunga mō tēnei mea te umanga Māori hei paerewa
raraunga hei te marama o Hōngongoi/Hūrae 2022.
Māori business definition:
Consultation findings –
Media release
28 June 2022
Agreement on what constitutes
a Māori business is a vital step in measuring the contribution Māori
businesses make to the Aotearoa New Zealand economy, Stats NZ said today.
A cross-sector working group
is developing a definition of Māori business. The report Māori
business definition: Consultation findings | Te Tautuhitanga umanga Māori:
Ngā hua o te whakawhitiwhiti korero
was released today and reveals a strong level of support for an agreed
definition.
“A clear and consistent Māori
business definition will help ensure coherent data collection and reporting
about Māori businesses and their contribution to the economy,” Stats
NZ Kaihautū Rhonda Paku said.
The report follows a draft
definition put out for public consultation in October and November 2021,
and consultation with Māori business representatives in focus group sessions.
The consultation asked the
public for feedback on a proposed definition: A Māori business
is a business that is owned by a person or people who have Māori whakapapa,
and a representative of that business self-identifies the business as Māori.
Feedback published in the report
showed support for the whakapapa and self-identification criteria of the
proposed definition. However, the responses highlighted the diversity of
views on the definition of Māori business.
“Stats NZ and the cross-sector
working group want to thank all who made submissions and provided their
thoughts on the draft definition.”
The final Māori business definition
is expected to be released as a data standard in July 2022.
