Nga Aho Whakaari's guide ((c) 2013, sponsored by the NZ Film Commission and NZ On Air) encourages non-Maori companies to involve Maori writers, producers and directors from the outset, strongly recommends Te Reo consultants (with tribal dialect variation), notes that production companies set waiver terms, and records the association's then-unmet call for joint ownership and guardianship of archived Maori footage.
