Mātauranga Māori

Maori-brain-image.png

Mātauranga Māori or Māori knowledge (in its most simplistic form) contains a body of knowledge originating from Māori ancestors.  This knowledge extends to:

  • world views,
  • values
  • perspectives
  • Māori creativity
  • cultural practices
  • the recognition of the inter-related connections between all life forces, both seen and unseen. 

As such, Waitaki District Libraries, in partnership and consultation with mana whenua, are working towards creating a living resource - both physical and digital, to further the growth and understanding of its community of users.
