Abstract
The theory and practice of social impact reporting are discussed from the perspective of the Maori people. The research prospectus put forward by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Research Council provides a starting point for consideration of social impact assessments done by the Centre for Maori Studies and research. Three recent studies are reviewed. In New Zealand, policy makers regarded the population as homogeneous. It took a long time for Maori voices to be heard and for separate and different attitudes to be considered by those engaged in environmental assessments or in policy formulation. More recently the establishment of the Waitangi Tribunal and increasing politicization of the Maori has led to a greater recognition of the need for Maori input into all policy areas.
