WATER NEW ZEALAND TE AO MĀORI
There are also a number of easily obtainable resources out there to help us fill our basket. These include a recently completed project, the Te Reo Māori map of Aotearoa/New Zealand which has bilingual place names as well as official names and recorded names from iwi and other Maori entities. Information is on the New Zealand Land Information website and it’s worth tracking down a copy of AW Reed’s Place Names of New Zealand. My colleague Emily Afoa and I recently published Te Ao Māori
and Water Sensitive Urban Design, which aims to demonstrate the intrinsic relationship between people, water, and the natural environment embedded across both the physical and spiritual planes within Te Ao Māori. In our publication, we discuss how these connections promote stewardship and protection of te taiao (the natural world); and therefore, how indigenous values – specifically holistic values reflected in Te Ao Māori – can inform, enhance, and complement water sensitive urban design.
