The Mauri Compass is the missing link between Maori and Western Scientific Views.  This is the way forward for the Gisborne District Council.  I hope it becomes the model for all Councils around the motu.

Ian and I designed this framework to measure and restore the mauri of our regions waterways.  It has since become a symbol of the Councils engagement with tangata whenua.  There is a lot of interest from other councils.

​I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation on the Mauri Compass. It was awesome to hear that the tool
has helped to begin a conversation between Te Runanga o Turanganui a Kiwa and the Gisborne District
Council on the restoration of the mauri of marine and freshwater environments in your rohe.

The Mauri Compass provides our tauira with the opportunity to participate in authentic learning.
The benefits of this type of learning are, that it links directly to their whenua, the skills they learn are life-long and they have the opportunity to take that learning, to another area, within their rohe.
Schooling in a big classroom.
