27 July 2022

What is Māori Data?

Māori data is data collected from Māori, from the environments that Māori have connection with and data by Māori. Māori have always been designers and collectors of data. We have collected, collated and stored data in various ways through generations. Translation of that data is through different forms like whaikōrero, waiata and karakia. Listen to our Trustees and Technicians talking about Māori data.
