Kāinga - Wai 262, Protecting and Nurturing Taonga Māori
We are working towards constitutional change to fully recognise kaitiakitanga of taonga and mātauranga by Māori, for Māori. Through Tiaki Taonga, tikanga will be recognised by ture. So, in the future, when the use of taonga and mātauranga Māori are being considered, te iwi Māori will have exclusive authority over their use as guaranteed by Te Tiriti o Waitangi and New Zealand law.
We know that kaitaiki across the motu already work tirelessly to protect taonga. We also know that there is strength in numbers and longevity in legislation. With your support, this tikanga led protection framework will tautoko you and your mahi in protecting your taonga, the Māori way.
We are on a mission to strengthen te here kaitiaki taonga across Aotearoa. Our vision is for whānau, hapū and iwi as kaitiaki to have full and exclusive decision-making authority to taonga Māori, as guaranteed by Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
