He Minenga Whakatu Hua o Te Ao

Abstract

Te Kaha te hikoi o Te Tangata is the journey of the Murihiku Mäori whänau.

The faith and influence they had with Papatuanuku.
The spiritual and holistic approach that shaped a hunter gatherer culture.
The requirement to change from a stone age people to a world that was monetary and industrial in a very short time frame.

How far have the whänau got to in their journey now?

Is there enough of an influence of our Tikanga on management processes and decision making within government local authorities etc.?
We have responsibility for the future care and management of Papatuanuku.
