The science project using indigenous Māori knowledge to increase NZ's resilience to natural hazards - a podcast by RNZ

How can we as a nation better respond to natural hazards like tsunamis and floods? New Zealand scientists and researchers are exploring Matauranga Māori (Māori indigenous knowledge) for the Resilience Challenge – an ambitious nationwide project exploring New Zealand's resilience to such hazards. Justine Murray meets three people involved – social scientist Dr Wendy Saunders who's been working with iwi and hapū in the Bay of Plenty, Māori social scientist Lucy Carter who's teaching disaster preparedness in Kura kaupapa Māori (Māori language immersion schools), and Dr Taiarahia Black who's contributing his research into colonial history.
