Abstract: 

The institutional statistics for Maori today presents a somewhat dismal picture. It is argued that in large part this is due to the obscuration of the history (and statistics) of Maori communities since early European contact. Some of this history was outlined. Also, the use of computers (which are a well-known statistical tool) in the newly-forming Iwi Authorities was touched on.
