Introduction

Tangata whenua are the local Maori and include a number of iwi. Two main iwi, Ngati Rarua and Te Atiawa, and their respective hapu, are regarded as tangata whenua and have a strong connection with the Motueka catchment today.

To understand Maori values and Maori issues related to the Motueka catchment, it is essential to start with an understanding of Maori mythology, Maori migration and tribal origins, Maori ancestry, history, conflicts, relocation, and settlement and land tenure up to present day.

Research Approach

A partnership approach towards collaborative learning, and the development of collaborative projects aligned to iwi and hapu Maori issues, priorities, needs and aspirations. This included building and maintaining a relationship and regular involvement of iwi and hapu representatives in the ICM programme.
