In 2019 the Runanga partnered with GNS to combine their scientific knowledge with Ngati Tahu-Ngati Whaoa matauranga regarding the Waiotapu-Waikite geothermal field. The Runanga saw this as an opportunity to capture and share some of our matauranga with interested iwi members while building on our holistic knowledge of this significant area for the benefit of present and future generations. There was also opportunity for our iwi to understand some of the science behind the uses of our taonga explained as simply as possible. The below report is the culmination of this joint project.
