Te Manawhakahaere Raraunga Plan
A te ao Māori focused data ecosystem acknowledges the many factors and elements that work interdependently to ensure we maintain the mana of whānau, hapu and iwi. These include the hardware, software, processes, and guiding principles within the organisation and the kaimahi and the whānau who are at the core benefit of effective data management. A holistic approach will ensure all opportunities are seen, considered, and leveraged when mutually beneficial.
Te Tuahiwi o Te Tihi are developing data infrastructure for Maori and Iwi providers in our rohe to improve their own unique strengths and build capability and capacity to ensure maximum leverage of Maori data. This will also result in more standardised ways of data management and a more robust comparison across our projects and organisations.
Ngā Kawa o te Mana Whakahaere - Raraunga
Visually represented by the whenua, our land is the solid foundation sustaining our people for generations, an ever-present force whose beauty continues to evolve across the ages. The cloaking of korowai across the whenua symbolises Rangatiratanga. Just as the tussock adorns the riverbanks of Maru, protecting the awa from pollution and erosion providing habitats of growth, so too do the components gathered from the natural elements form protective cover to our data ecosystem providing shelter for data sovereignty to flourish.
Ngā Kawa ō te Mana Whakahaere – Data Governance, strong and steadfast overtime, grounded in values imbedded in te ao Māori to guide the way Te Tihi and Partners interact with Māori data to create better outcomes for whānau.
Ngā Tikanga o te Mana Whakahaere - Raraunga
Visually represented by the coloured waterway, Maru, Hinemoana and Tangaroa are the oceans, rivers, and tributaries. The puhoro traverses the awa reflecting the swift, agile ecosystems, rich with diversity that shape and are shaped by the world around them.
Ngā Tikanga ō te Mana Whakahaere are developed to transform our kawa - guiding principles, into tangible tools to support our kaimahi, organisation and equally important, our whānau when engaging with Māori data. The tikanga are dynamic to the needs, context and aspirations of whānau.
Te Hiringa Mahara – Raraunga
As depicted by the blue sky, Ranginui represents space and time; an opportunity to reflect and aspire. Manu Aute once flew across his expanse, a traditional communication system that alerted whānau, hapū and iwi of kaupapa that were eminent. Our kaitiaki, the Hōkioi, emulating the upper realm of aspiration reflects where we aspire to be.
Te Tihi o Ruahine believe guardianship of data moves beyond privacy and protection to the mobilisation and return of whānau data. Like the Manu Aute, data should transcend the bounds of organisations to be visible in the skies for whānau hapū and iwi to reflect, make informed decisions, and aspire to better days. Te Hiringa Mahara is a Self-Reflection tool utilising the Manu Aute as a Framework.
