NGĀ HAPŪ O ŌTAKI AND COUNCIL COLLABORATE TO PRESERVE RIVERHapū based in Wellington are launching a new video campaign which looks at sustainable water quality through mahinga kai. Ngā Hapū of Ōtaki have partnered with the Wellington City Council to deliver the initiative. The video will feature ancient mahinga kai practices as well as ancient and modern methods of testing water quality. It's part of a wider initiative by the council to ensure mana whenua values are invested within resource management plans. Grace says, "We've met together, we've worked together, we've planned together now we actually have to learn how to do stuff together and that's about taking the values they've put into our plan and saying how can we express our Treaty Partnership through our activities?" "When we think about the Resource Management Act we think about the relationship of Māori with their culture, their traditions, etcetera. How do we make that happen? Because that's about real people doing things in real places. No more words. Action.".... www.maoritelevision.com/news/regional/nga-hapu-o-otaki-and-council-collaborate-preserve-river
