How Maori scientists are connecting traditional
knowledge with western scientific knowledge
Pauline Harris is a scientist from Rongmaiwahine and Ngati Kahungunu descent. She listens to reports from our communities on the effects of climate change. She is now working with researchers to visit Iwi and Hapu throughout the country. The Matauranga are made up of Maoris that they guide the Maori culture, values and beliefs. They also revealed what Aotearoa was like before the Europeans arrived. Also including information about predicting the weather, healing illnesses, planting crops and navigating waka.

Pauline and her team are visiting different Iwi and hapu across New Zealand to record their stories.They want to capture information about plants and animal activities in the past as well as any differences people have noticed in the present.”we’re asking whānau if they’ve noticed anything changing in places like forests over the last fifty years.
Pauline and her team are creating a map using a computer program to record the stories and connect them to a particular place and time.We’re recording the place the story is talking about, the plants or animals in the story, what they looked like, and what the moon phases or star positions were at the time,” Pauline explains.
The map will allow observations today to be compared with observations from the past making it easier to connect events. For example, if the pōhutukawa tree flowers but the kina roe are not fat, then Pauline can check these events against other time markers in the computer program.
