Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content
Māori resource management and planning has been practiced by whānau and hapū according to tikanga for centuries. Central to Māori resource management is the obligation to protect the mauri of everything in the environment. This paper extends student understandings of kaitiakitanga and examines the challenges and opportunities for whanau, hapū and iwi practicing resource management in a contemporary context. It provides an opportunity for students to broaden their knowledge of engagement with Māori communities and to critically analyse policies and plans developed by local and territorial authorities under the Resource Management Act and related legislation. Students are also provided with examples of iwi and hapū driven resource management through iwi management plans and guest lectures.

Breakdown:

Firstly, you are to review other CIAs and understand how they are structured and familiarize yourself with the purpose of why they are constructed, the methodology employed, the values identified by iwi, the impacts and issues identified and recommendations.

Secondly, You are to write a report on how would you best construct a CIA for either the Porotī OR Waikoropupu spring.

Use your CIA review to inform the structure of your assignment. The assignment should provide analysis of the cultural values, impacts, opportunities, challenges and recommendations that could be used to depict a tangata whenua perspective.

1. Identify and discuss in your view a key limitation of or challenge to the CIA process

2. Identify and discuss a particular Māori value and explore its treatment in CIA processes

3. Are some Māori values more readily recognised and protected through a CIA process than others and if so, can you recommend changes to address this problem?

4. Examine CIA methodologies and consider how readily the CIAs you reviewed could be transferred to another culture

5. Having reviewed the CIAs explain and discuss two ways that you think Regional or District Plans under the RMA could be changed to better protect the values identified through the CIA process
