Mātauranga Māori

Mātauranga Māori is the rich body of traditional knowledge, wisdom, and understanding developed by the Māori people of New Zealand over centuries. It encompasses language, history, spirituality, customs, and relationship with the environment, especially the land and sea. This knowledge guides cultural practices, sustainable resource management, and community life. Mātauranga Māori is dynamic and continues to evolve, serving as a vital link between Māori identity and their environment, and is recognized as an important form of knowledge that complements scientific understanding in New Zealand today.
