Kōrero Tuku Iho – Foundational Project

Our project Kōrero Tuku Iho (KTI), is the cultural dimension of Kaipara Moana Remediation, delivering one of its two foundations.  KTI enables Kaipara Uri, iwi, hapū, and marae contributions to improving the health, wellbeing and mauri of Kaipara Moana.

The Kōrero Tuku Iho project is now seeking expressions of interests, from Kaipara Uri, iwi, hapū, marae, and whānau, to undertake Whakatauira. The purpose of each Whakatauira is to gather stories, memories, histories, values and generate a deeper understanding of Kaipara Uri, iwi, hapū, marae and whānau communities’ narratives about their natural world and the places of significance to them within the Kaipara Moana catchment. 

Whakatauira will support KMR’s primary objective to reduce sediment entering the Kaipara Moana in order to protect and restore the mauri of the Moana. Click the link below to apply.
