Outstanding water bodies have an essence within them that provide for wairua and mauri. This hā supports these water bodies in their ability to provide kai, provide resources and heal the body and spirit. Ngā Mahi a ngā The interaction of mana whenua with fresh and coastal waters for mana whenua Tūpuna purposes. This includes the cultural and spiritual relationship with water expressed through mana whenua practices, recreation and the harvest of natural materials for mana whenua purposes. This also includes ancestral connections to the land passed down by tūpuna and whakapapa. Te Mahi Kai Places where mana whenua manage and collect food and resources and undertake activities to uphold tikanga Māori. This is not only about the bounty collected but the transmission of knowledge through the act of collection. Wāhi Whakarite Sites and places where particular practices and activities take place. These are often places that have been used for centuries that require a specific environment. These practices differ from day to day activities outlined above in Ngā Mahi a ngā Tūpuna. These include very important and often restricted activities that are undertaken by Māori that have been used for centuries. Te Mana o te Tangata Many water bodies are recognised by their neighbours as being of particular value to not only those that hold rangatiratanga of a water body but also to those who interact and rely on their neighbours for certain resources. In this case a requirement could be the support or endorsement by another iwi. This would provide an opportunity for whānaungatanga and mutual mana enhancement. Te Manawaroa o te Some water bodies have sustained intense pollution over a long period of time. In many Wai cases these water bodies are seen as having a level of resilience unseen in other water entities. In the minds of tangata whenua the restoration of many of these water bodies provides an excitement. The potential of particular outstanding water bodies provides a special opportunity for iwi to be able to once again provide their guests with kai-rangatira, relearn practices of the past, and identify themselves with a water body that will be healthy. Te Mana o te Wai Some water bodies of our region are inherently connected to our identity and the mana of the area. Te Whanganui a Tara and Wairarapa Moana are two outstanding examples of this relationship. Wāhi Mahara Wāhi mahara are places of learning and where local knowledge and histories are etched in the landscape. These are essentially a place that was central to intergenerational knowledge transmission of our tūpuna, and could be used as such again in our future. 346 PROPOSED NATURAL RESOURCES PLAN FOR THE WELLINGTON REGION DECISION VERSION (31.07.2019) Schedule B: Ngā Taonga Nui a Kiwa Ngā Hapū o Ōtaki Te Taonga Nui a Kiwa Ngā Huanga o ngā Taonga Nui a Kiwa Te Awaawa me te Roto Ngā Mahi a ngā Tūpuna: o Waoirongomai Waiorongomai was a very significant site for our tūpuna, they used this site for very (Waiorongomai Lake tapu practices (whakawātea, cleansing/removal of tapu).

Te Mahi Kai: The Waiorongomai system has a very large capacity to provide food. Local testimonies and literature support this. Wāhi Whakarite: A place used for very special spiritual and physical ceremonies. Local testimonies and literature support this. Te Mana o te Tangata: Recognised regionally and possibly nationally for its capacity to support people. A reputation for ‘providing’ for large events. Kua rangona te marea tēnei roto. Local, regional and possibly national testimonies and literature support this. Te Manawaroa o te Wai: Restoration potential is huge. Recent ecology assessments show the presence of essential species. Recent and current studies support this. Te Mana o te Wai: Waiorongomai informs the identity of Raukawa ki te tonga and the many hapū of Ōtaki. Local testimonies and literature support this. Wāhi Mahara: A crucial place to transmit knowledge. Local testimonies and literature and recent educational studies support this. Te Awa o Ōtaki (Ōtaki Ngā Mahi a ngā Tūpuna: River) The Ōtaki River mouth was settled by Ngāti Raukawa and Ngāti Huia in the early 1800s. This river system and its many tributaries were the contributing factor for settlement. The relationship between
