Overview
This project is drawing together common themes and elements from across our previous research. The insights and learnings will be specifically relevant to enabling uniquely Māori ways of knowing and doing to contribute to the Challenge’s objective.
The team has identified oranga (well-being) as a central overarching motivation and aspiration driving the relationship of Māori to the marine environment. In Te Ao Māori terms this reflects an interdependence founded in whakapapa, that informs relationships and obligations.
Other thematic elements are being explored with key end-users from whānau, hapū, iwi, Māori entities, Māori commercial operators and government agencies (local and central) and past project leaders. These themes, or pou, are:
- Kaitiakitanga
- Capability and capacity
- Innovation and economy
- Engagement
- Values
- Rights and interests
The themes/pou will inform the co-development of information, tools and resources for target audiences. These outputs are likely to include policy briefs, guidance material, publications, presentations, and video clips.
