NO/NOT SURE - QUICK CHECK

As a general rule of thumb, you are likely to be required to consult with Māori if your research:

1. Involves or impacts on native or valued flora and fauna;
2. Involves or impacts on other taonga (e.g. waterways / water bodies) that have been either specifically recognised by any hapū or iwi, or are generally known to be taonga;
3. Utilises human genes or human cell lines of known Māori origin;
4. Involves the mixing of genes (or whakapapa) across species in a field trial, conditional release or release situation;
5. Where adverse health and/or well-being effects are indicated to fall disproportionately to Māori.
6. Uses a process previously or currently thought of as “controversial” (some examples include genetic modification, nanobiotechnology, xenotransplantation etc)
7. Involves implementation of a non controversial technology that will affect Māori
8. A research proposal where there is a lack of precedence for determining what the implications or significance to Māori is.
