 PROTECTION OF INDIGENOUS SACRED SITES: THE NEW ZEALAND EXPERIENCE -Mtn-Forum On-Line Library Document
The literal translation of wahi tapu is 'sacred place', but the modern translation of tapu as 'sacred' fails to capture its full essence, for the deep spiritual value of wahi tapu transcends mere sacredness.
The hierarchy and complexity of wahi tapu classification is compounded by the people of each iwi, hapu or whanau (tribe, sub-tribe or extended family) having their own definition which is valid only to diem.
Clearly, if a wahi tapu were located where it might have an adverse effect on resale value, the imposition of a heritage covenant would rely upon an owner who was especially benevolent, or who planned to keep the property within the family.

The authority of mana and tapu derives from the kawai tipuna and tipuna.
Mana and tapu were the practical forces of the kawai tipuna at work in everyday matters, and the need to defend mana and tapu against attacks by insult, excessive generosity, war or makutu[170] through utu, made life turbulent at times.
The nature of personal tapu is similar to mana in that the more direct a person s lineage to a kawai tipuna, the greater the individual tapu of that person, because tapu, like mana, was of the kawai tipuna, and like mana, it was acquired at birth.
