Waiohua Workstreams.

CLIENT | Eke Panuku, Ngaati Tamaoho, Te Ākitai Wahoua & Ngaati Te Ata Waiohua

OUR ROLE | Regenerative Project Management 

Waiohua Workstreams supports Waiohua Iwi (Ngaati Tamaoho, Te Ākitai Waiohua, and Ngaati Te Ata Waiohua) to realise their kaitiakitanga and partnership aspirations in relation to Te Whakaoranga o Te Puhinui, a multigenerational strategy to regenerate Te Puhinui catchment and return ora (wellbeing) to the people and places of Te Puhinui.

Done. is proud to provide Regenerative Project Management services for this kaupapa, with the continued guidance of Waiohua kaitiaki representatives, and working alongside Eke Panuku, Waiohua Workstreams leaders & the local community, including the Empowered Communities Working Group.

Through this inspiring mahi, project partners and local communities work together to embed Waiohua maatauranga (wisdom) to deliver on the vision Waiohua has for restoring Te Puhinui awa (stream) and catchment. This approach reflects the value of tiakitanga - caring for the nature, place, and people of Te Puhinui, to regenerate the collective mauri (vitality) of its ecosystems, so that its people thrive now and into future generations.

The five Mana Whenua-prioritised Waiohua Workstreams are led by a talented rōpū:

Te Reo oo Waiohua - Te Huia Cowell

This workstream increases the presence and visibility of Te Reo Waiohua while building capacity, capability, and confidence about the nuances of Te Reo Waiohua conventions (the double vowel), local kupu and whakatauki.

Te Maaramataka oo Te Waiohua - Ayla Hoeta

This workstream builds understanding and use of a Waiohua-centred Maramataka dial, (a calendar aligned to local Maramataka) and tirotiro (nature observations) to guide the planning of events, planting and other activities.

Te Arotakenga - Emily Afoa and Tektus

The purpose of this workstream is to create and utilise a whakapapa-centred wellbeing monitoring and evaluation framework to measure the individual and aggregated impact of activities on the oranga of Te Puhinui catchment.

Te Puhinui storytelling - Maioro Taylor and Māori Video Productions

This workstream creates visual storytelling resources to communicate and celebrate Te Whakaoranga o Te Puhinui and the projects, initiatives, activities and activations within it – while capturing changes in Te Puhinui through time.

Taiao regeneration

The Taiao Regeneration workstream supports a range of community organisations to regenerate the taiao of Te Puhinui.
