Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content
Māori resource management and planning has been practiced and developed by iwi, whanau and hapū according to tikanga for centuries. Central to Māori resource management is the obligation to protect and enhance the mauri of everything in the environment. This paper extends student understandings of Māori resource management and examines the challenges and opportunities for whānau, hapū and iwi practicing resource management in a contemporary context. It provides an opportunity for students to broaden their knowledge of engagement with Māori communities. The paper provides tools in which to critically analyse policies and plans developed by local authorities under the Resource Management Act and related legislation. Students are provided with examples of iwi and hapū driven resource management plans through a number of unique iwi case studies, guest lectures and a tipi haere (field trip).
