Kaumātuatanga (eldership) is an issue governments and iwi are slowly coming to grips with. Governments tend to treat kaumātuatanga as a ‘one size fits all’ proposition because it is easier to deliver services when viewing the population group as one unit. That immediately creates problems as populations are not all the same. Rather they are made up of distinct units, each with their needs and wants.
