Māori Guardianship Vocabulary
A river, a community, a decision
At a hui in Te Awa village, whānau members discuss rubbish collecting near their river. The river is a taonga: it sustains people, plants and animals. Local kaitiaki monitor its health and share what they learn. The river flows through the rohe, the area with which the community has strong connections. Some whānau propose a clean-up; others want to ask mana whenua for guidance first. They agree that rangatiratanga includes the authority and responsibility of Māori to make decisions for their people and taonga. The group plans to listen, share knowledge and decide together how to care for the river.
