Gifted education is viewed through five cultural lenses. In respect to Mäori the following questions are posed and answered: In what areas is giftedness recognized? How is each area of giftedness perceived and demonstrated? What priority is given to each area of giftedness? What are culturally appropriate and effective ways of identifying gifted students? How can gifted students be provided for in a culturally appropriate way? A checklist of indicators of giftedness in Mäori cultural abilities and qualities is included as are practical suggestions for incorporating Mäori-relevant content in various curriculum areas.
