The Te Mana Raraunga Charter outlines the key ideals that underpin our advocacy and capacity building initiatives.
• Data is a living tāonga and is of strategic value to Māori.
• Māori data refers to data produced by Māori or that is about Māori and the environments we have relationships with.
• Māori data is subject to the rights articulated in the Treaty of Waitangi and the UN’s Declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples, to which Aotearoa New Zealand is a signatory.
The Charter sets out:
• Our purpose
• Tikanga / guiding principles,
• Mana-Mahi (Governance-Operations) Framework
• Membership of Te Mana Raraunga
You should be considering how this charter can be incorporated and become fundamental to your data guardianship and Data Asset development.
