THE ROLE OF IWI
These reforms also give tangata whenua a greater role in freshwater management by focusing on Te Mana o Te Wai (the
integrated and holistic well-being of water) and requiring a partnership approach to developing plans and managing
activities.
This increased role mirrors the desire of iwi o Taranaki to exercise Mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge, cultural practices

most suitable method for this reef during siginificant sand inundation events. It was recommended that
further discussion is undertaken with iwi to find an alternative survey method that would be more effective,
along with discussing what alternative cultural health indicators are important, and how they could be
monitored (e.g. mapping and monitoring of mussel beds).
