Kaitiaki


He whare kōrero, he whare mātauranga
A house of knowledge is a house of learning.

Kaitiaki

Intelligence

Platforms

Working with leading Māori organisations the Kaitiaki Intelligence Platforms team has designed an environmental sensing network.

Ancient Wisdom and New Technology

Māori have their own ways for gauging the health of the environment based on long-standing relationships with, and experiences of, Place.

Through combining this indigenous wisdom with new monitoring technologies Māori can generate the intelligence they need to advocate for the environment, govern their lands, and create opportunities.

Kaitiakitanga

The project supports hapū and iwi in meeting their felt collective responsibility to wisely manage resources for the sake of future generations and their non-human kin.
