Ko ngā āhuatanga o te tangata e kīia ai ia he tangata motuhake. Koia ko tōna whakapapa tonu, ko tōna ahurea, ko tōna reo ūkaipō, ko āna whanonga, ko ōna whakapono, ko ōna uara, ko āna tikanga, tae atu ki te āhua o tōna tinana. Ka pā hoki te tuakiri ki te rōpū, pērā i te tuakiri o tētahi iwi ake, o te hapori takatāpui, o te hunga turi, o te whenua tonu, otirā o te huhua ake o ngā momo whakarōpūtanga tāngata.
All aspects of a person which contribute to their uniqueness. This includes their lineage, their culture, their mother tongue, their behaviours, their beliefs, their values, their customs, and also their physical appearance. Identity also applies to groups such as the identity of a particular tribal group, of the gay community, of deaf people, of a whole country and myriad other groupings of people.
Ahakoa ngā piki me ngā heke i roto i ngā tau, ahakoa ngā tāmitanga, ka mau tonu i te iwi nei tō rātou ake tuakiri motuhake.
He kino kē te aukati atu a te ture o taua whenua rā i ngā āhuatanga tūturu o te tuakiri iwi taketake.
He tino kaha te hunga rā ki te whakanui i tō rātou tuakiri takatāpui.
