Tika means “trust” in Arabic)

Tika means that which is ‘fair’, ‘true’ or ‘proper’,2 and ‘tikanga ’ is most simply translated as being the ‘right way of doing things’, encompassing method, plan, reason and custom.3 Important in tikanga Māori is the perspective that it is from the past and the actions of the ancestors and gods that the wisdom of how to address contemporary issues is found. For example, the phrase 'i ngā wa o mua' translates as ‘from the times of front’ but this phrase means the past. Therefore the past is always in front of us, thus offers guidance, and the future is behind us, as very few can see the future and what it has in store for us.4 This is why history is so important in te ao Māori. It is also indicative of the standpoint from which Māori view land and interpret the character of a place, which is discussed in chapter ten.
