Tikanga Maori

Customary Law Systems

Tikanga is a Maori term for practices, customary law, attitudes and principles. Te Aka Maori Dictionary defines it as a customary system of values and practices that have developed over time and are deeply embedded in the social context, drawing on matauranga Maori, or Maori knowledge. In English, tikanga has been translated with a wide range of meanings, including culture, custom, ethic, etiquette, formality, lore, manner, protocol and style.

Entity-backed identity for the legal family value this legal-system already carries as an enum fact, resolved to a legal-system entity by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The enum fact itself stays on the entity unchanged.
