Rangitikei District Council to support inventory of district's heritage
The Rangitikei District Council is planning to help set up an inventory of physical and cultural heritage.
Executive officer Carol Downs said the council's draft heritage plan would be an enabling document that signalled the council's support for documenting the area's heritage.
The plan sets out the creation of two heritage inventory lists, one for general heritage and one for Maori heritage.
Downs said the lists would be driven by what community organisations, like the Rangitikei Heritage Group, and iwi and hapu groups wanted to include.
Te Roopu Ahi Kaa Komiti member Chris Stanton said each iwi had different ideas about how to balance privacy and preservation for spiritually or culturally important heritage.
"It's always a conundrum, whether it's dealing with wahi tapu sites or preserving traditions and knowledge," he said.
Even when the structures were gone, Maori heritage could be there and you might not realise it, Stanton said.
"It could be an old pa site or a place of importance for an iwi, it's not always very visually spectacular."..
