Overview
This internship explored a wide range of publicly available sources of information and data to build a research report about Te Atiawa knowledge, perspectives, and values. The hope was to create a research model or methodology that is customised to Te Atiawa mātauranga.
This internship informs the first phase of a Masters thesis that will help Te Atiawa and their hapū to strengthen the physical, emotional, and spiritual bonds between their people and their Tupuna Mounga, Taranaki.
