Tikanga of biometric technologies. Computer Science Department of University of Auckland.
A customary (pre Colonisation) understanding of Tikanga Māori recognises that the human body/Ira tangata is sacred/Tapu and has spiritual elements of Wairua and Mauri that both surround and is within every part of the body. Biometric testing and data storage from the Ira tangata is Tapu knowledge that is a collectively owned Taonga. Therefore, the Treaty of Waitangi, Mataatua Declaration, UN Declaration of Indigenous Rights in addition to Data Sovereignty and tikanga system architecture should be considered as a part of the ethical process of biometric testing of Māori.
