Whānau Stories
Te Mana o Te Wai
For more than thirty years, papatipu rūnaka in the Otago region have struggled to gain a voice in policy and planning around regional water resources. Now, thanks to a widespread commitment to change and the work of rūnaka-owned entity Aukaha and its environmental workstream Mana Taiao, progress is being made.
Advocating for Change
Mana Taiao is the environmental pou of Aukaha, and plays a key role in working with both manawhenua and local government to ensure that manawhenua aspirations are at the centre of the kōrero.
Manawhenua Panels
When working with partners to incorporate Kāi Tahu values into developments across the Otago region, it is important that Mana Ahurea fully understands the aspirations of manawhenua.
The Design Process
Mana Ahurea works with partners across the Otago region to incorporate manawhenua values and identity into new developments. This means being involved in the very early stages of the process, to influence the design process long before building begins.
