Ko tāku ki Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroai he hāpai i ngā wawata i wawatatia ai e ērā i mua i ahau. Ā, ka kaha whai au i te whakaaro ko te reo Māori te tūāpapa o ngā āhuatanga katoa o te Ao Māori, mā te reo te tirohanga Māori e kawe, mā te reo te tuakiri o te tangata Māori e whakamana. Hāunga anō ngā mahi hei āwhina i te hapori ko tāku e whai nei kia rangahaua te reo i kōrerotia ai e ōku ake tīpuna nō roto i te rohe o Tamatea me Rangitāne. Ko te whāinga, kia kitea ai ngā whakatakotoranga motuhake o te kupu i puta i ēnei rohe me te hāngai ki te hapū o taua wā.

My role at Massey University is to promote the wishes of those who came before me. Most importantly I embrace the notion that the Māori language is the foundation of every aspect of the Māori world, the Māori language conveys Māori perspective and empowers Māori identity. Besides the activities to support the community and our marae I also research the language spoken by my ancestors within the region of Central Hawkes Bay and Rangitāne. The aim is revealing the unique phrasings that were spoken in this region that relate to the subtribes and the land of that time.

Kua roa e whai atu ana i ngā kaupapa mātuatua, ngā kaupapa whakarauora i te reo Māori kia ora tonu ai hei taonga, hei reo mana o Aotearoa. Ā, kei te tautokona ōku hapū Ngāi Te Rangitotohu, Ngāti Mārau ki Rākautātahi ki roto ki ngā kaupapa reo, kaupapa whenua, kaupapa wai.

Ko te whāinga kia tohua ngā āhuatanga ā-reo hei āwhina i te tangata kia āta titiro atu ki tēnei ao hurihuri ki tā te Māori titiro. Tautokona ai ngā rōpū kia reorua te kōrero, kia whakamāori rānei. Kua 4 ngā pukapuka kua tuhia mā ngā kaiako reo Māori.

Project Title: He Tatai Whenua: A Te Ao Maori landscape classification

Our research will synthesize a Te Ao Maori landscape classification that can be directly integrated with existing geographical information systems (GIS). We will produce the first indigenous peoples, or Maori metric based Landscape Classification for New Zealand. Despite Maori expert elicitation, or interpretation, of landscape features being well recognised, coherent representation and display of this knowledge is significantly underdeveloped. Data of this kind is still treated as anecdotal or qualitative and, as a result, lacks impact in environmental management and decision-making. In stark contrast, the underlying descriptors and datasets used to classify NZ's environment for decision-making are all displayed in advanced GIS systems utilising cutting edge technology (e.g. geology (Qmap), soils (SMap), bio-diversity (Landcover Database/LENZ), and land use/capability (NZ Land Resource Inventory)). Many of the fundamental methods used to create these datasets are based on frameworks and criteria created through quasi-quantitative methods with no inclusion or recognition of matauranga Maori. This will be achieved through three components: 1. Development of Maori landscape classification criteria based on matauranga Maori, tikanga, kaitiakitanga and tohu taiao from leading Maori academics and Iwi partners 2. Generation of the first Maori Landscape Classification GIS (MLC-GIS) and database using new IT, GIS, remote sensing techniques and mathematical methods to visualise landscapes based on the developed criteria 3. Application of the MLC-GIS alongside existing environmental databases in new catchment management strategies Our research will use the Manawatu catchment to develop the protocols required to extend the proposed Maori Landscape Classification GIS to the whole of NZ. Globally this will be the first time such a dataset will be created. Additionally, new geospatial visualisation methods will be developed that will have significant impact.
