Pae Tawhiti

This study has been initiated by the iwi of Ōhiwa, led by Ngāti Awa to establish techniques and practices to provide information to assist in the co-management of Ōhiwa harbour.

This project, in collaboration with Te Weu Charitable Trust, will undertake a scoping study that aims to understand the research needs of Māori communities in Te Tairāwhiti, specifically in relation to climate change. Whānau, hapū and iwi within Te Tairāwhiti are knowledge holders, ringa raupā, and leaders about the local environment and local communities.

Based in Mātauranga Māori, the project will bring together textile researchers, Māori practitioners, and scientists to advance knowledge of native plant dyes and fibres.

We, the delegates of the International Indigenous Climate Change Summit (IICCRS), gathered from November 13th to 17th, 2023, recognize the profound climate crisis facing our world and its dire consequences for Indigenous peoples, our lands, and the global ecosystem.

Inspired by a little-known Tīkapa mōteatea, He Uru Mānuka, a love lament set among riverside mānuka groves, this project aims to document and culturally map selected Waiapu River locations pairing customary and contemporary technologies.

The best knowledge/technology is coming together for Tahamata Incorporation and shareholders’ coastal farm, Kuku, Horowhenua.
