A short history of Ngā Aho. "Māori are committed to working towards reinstating and developing a physical and metaphysical understanding of cultural landscape within contemporary Aotearoa New Zealand. In January 2007 a set of guiding principles – the Te Aranga Principles – was developed by Māori professionals and supporters spanning many areas of design, arts, health, education, local and central government. The principles assert that “the development and articulation of the Māori cultural landscape will contribute to the health and well-being of all who reside in and visit Aotearoa – through realising our unique Aotearoa and Pacific identity.”
