Culture, Risk, and the Prospect of Genetically Modified Organisms as Viewed by Tāngata Whenua Terre Satterfield, Mere Roberts, Mark Henare, Melissa Finucane, Richard Benton, and Manuka Henare Culture, Risk and the Prospect of Genetically Modified Organisms as Viewed by Tāngata Whenua By Terre Satterfield, Mere Roberts, Mark Henare, Melissa Finucane, Richard Benton, and Manuka Henare Whakatane: Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi May 2005 The research reported in this report has been supported under Contract UOA X0234 from the Foundation for Research Science and Technology, Wellington, New Zealand through the University of Auckland and Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi. The authors would like to thank all those who made this project possible. Their willingness to embark upon this journey with us into the largely unknown was greatly appreciated. Nō reira, mā te Atua koutou e manaaki, e tiaki i ngā wā katoa. Their views presented here provide an in-depth insight into the values and beliefs of a wide range of tangata whenua concerning genetically modified organisms. We hope their gift will make a valuable contribution to this subject area, and provide sustenance for those who seek to travel further on this journey. We wish to thank the James Henare Research Centre at the University of Auckland who provided a home for the first stages of this project and, along with our Māori Advisory Committee members (Dr. Merimeri Penfold, Father Henare Tait, Pereme Porter and Rua Rakena), provided much appreciated manaakitanga for this project.
