Wao Atua
Maramataka informed cultural environmental indicator development.
The Wao Atua framework represents a systematic approach to reclaiming knowledge and practice of maramataka. It was developed by the Ngā Tohu collective to illustrate the essential landing points required to develop tohu. It describes three non-negotiable components of the Wao Atua framework Wao Atua – Connecting to taiao; Wao Tūpuna – Connecting to ancestral knowledge; and Wao Tāngata – Connecting to ancestral practice. The report provides examples of how each component has been developed and applied within the Ngā Tohu project.
