Hei wāhanga o ā rātou mahi, ka onokia he taewa (rīwai rānei) e tētahi rōpū rangahau nō Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa (Massey University) i Te Papa-i-ōia, i raro i te maramataka Māori. Nā ngā Pākehā tōmua ki Aotearoa te taewa i heri mai ki Aotearoa. Kāore he ārikarika a te Māori ki tēnei kai. Kāore i roa ka hōrapa, ka whai pakiaka ētahi momo taewa ki tēnā iwi, ki tēnā iwi; kīia ai ēnei, he rīwai Māori.
