Hei Matapihi ki te Ao: Ngareta Timutumu

Project Summary

Hei Matapihi ki te Ao is a Māori-led research project to empower the Matapihi community to navigate the challenges of climate change. The research project is grounded in mātauranga, cultural practices, Te Reo Māori and its revitalisation. This enables us to celebrate indigenous ways of knowing and being about our whenua, our way and our moana. We will take an intergenerational approach to develop and empower ahi kā leaders to coordinate and guide action to the growing climate change threats facing our moana, our whenua and our people.
