Abstract
Aim. To standardise the use of a single factor measure
of cultural identity based on the cultural indicators
developed byTe Hoe Nuku Roa (1996). The single
measure of cultural identity proposed in this paper was

of Māori households, Te Hoe Nuku Roa (n = 650). The
measure of cultural identity displayed a normal
distribution with a theoretical range of 0 to 18 (where a
higher score is consistent with a more secure identity), a
mean of 11, and a SD of 2. 7. The measure is expected to
be particularly useful in understanding Māori cultural
identity within a statistical framework
