Iwi leaders and Maori Ministers will be meeting shortly to discuss restrictions around tangihanga after outrage from te ao Māori.
On Monday, the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, said the tangi and funeral limit would remain at 10 when the country moved to level 2 on Thursday.
It sparked backlash from Māori communities and leaders who said the low number for tangi was unfair.
RNZ understands a meeting will take place shortly to discuss the restrictions and changes could be on the horizon.
RNZ's reporter Te Aniwa Hurihanganui spoke to Māni Dunlop.
