First speaker in today’s session is Waiaria Rameka, here to tell stories about her mahi in Māori Cultural Health Indicators (MCHI) theory and practice through the exploration of maramataka
Ehara i te numa noa
Not just a number
MCHI = a tool to ‘stick to the man’ but they created roadblocks—maps! Square peg into round hole
These spaces were difficult to navigate because the tool and maps didn’t represent or describe cultural values
Square peg round hole is not acceptable, it’s happened to mātauranga Māori for too long. So they waited….
….for years until one day they heard of others using maramataka
And Ngā Tohu came to life….this project aims to reclaim maramataka knowledge and practice to advance MCHI sustainableseaschallenge.co.nz/our-research/n…
Wānanga (lots and lots!) have been used to develop ability to observe ngā tohu. And produce ngā kaupeka (baseline). Maramataka is on a 3 year cycle not 1 year!
Key learning: wānanga and hui are spaces for analysis. Kia ora Waiaria!

Amazing kōrero from project co-leader Waiaria at today's #NZMSS2021 session, great to hear about evolving research methodologies (wānanga and hui as spaces for analysis) and how MCHI for Tauranga are being developed @NZMarineSociety
