KI TE AO M-ARAMA – STATISTICS BRINGING LIGHT INTO OUR WORLDHere is an updated collection of our statistics about Mäori and from a Mäori perspective. Browse through them for an understanding of Mäori well-being and development.‘Te ao märama’ is a Mäori concept relating to wisdom and understanding. It derives from the myth in which Täne separated his Sky Father Ranginui and Earth Mother Papatuänuku to create ‘te ao märama’ or the world of light. This allowed Täne and his brothers to grow and better understand the world around them. Statistics New Zealand has collected a substantial amount of information relating to Mäori through the 2013 Te Kupenga Survey. For more details of the statistics, plus informative analysis of these data and other statistical information relevant to Mäori, please visit our website: www.stats.govt.nz/maori.
