This is tikanga that needs to be taught to NZDF in order to practise tikanga correctly. I can relate to the point about the 'waiata kīnaki' or support song. It is about situational awareness and the importance of listening to the speakers and the context of their speeches. Its important that the 'waiata kīnaki' is appropriate to what has been said in the speech. Therefore your 'waiata möteatea, tangi, maimai, aroha, pātere, pao' library should be extensive. Heoi he tīkanga, kawa rerekē ki tēnā, ki tēnā o ngā marae whanui atu ki Aotearoa nei.
