porihanga
1. (noun) society.
Ki tōna whakaaro anō ko te otinga atu o te take nei ko te whakamutu ake a te tangata i te mahi whakatamariki iho i te Māori, kāore i te taha whakaakoranga anake, otiia i ngā wāhi katoa o te porihanga whānui (TTR 2000:24). / In his view, the solution lay in ending the paternalism towards Māori, not only in education, but in all aspects of society.
