Lay summary
The seeding grant will be used to produce a scope report on the state of the 'paepae' on our Marae in Otorohanga. This scope report will document a) the state of the paepae and b) the corresponding physical and cultural signs of hapu ill-health. The intended outcome is to propose programmes that restore the strength of the 'paepae' as well as the health of the hapu. Marae-based wananga involving kuia and koroua will be conducted to assess the health of the 'paepae' and the hapu.
