Conceptual Framework: Ikanui
Pastoral care of water bodies: Rivers, streams, lakes, oceans including the human connection of the waters of the womb, the waters of the creation of life and elements of water in all things
The spiritual life force of H2O speaks to the qualities of water as a primary life giving, life sustaining source. Māori elevate its status as to having a special ‘mauri’ and thus iwi taketake recognise waters’ role in sustaining the balance of life on this planet.
Waitī: E hono ana a Waitī ki te wai māori me ngā koiora katoa o ngā awa, o ngā manga, o ngā roto anō hoki (Matariki 2017:29-30). / Waitī (Maia) is connected to fresh water and all life of the rivers, streams and lakes.
Waitā: E hono ana a Waitī rāua ko Waitā ki te kai me te wai; he tāne tētehi, he wahine tētehi. Ko te take kei runga ake a Waitī i a Waitā, he heke nō te wai māori ki te wai tai i ngā wā katoa, koirā te take kei ō rāua wāhi rāua e iri ana i te rangi (Matariki 2017:33). / Waitī (Maia) and Waitā (Taygeta) are associated with food and water; one is male and the other female. The reason that Waitī is situated above Waitā is because fresh water always flows down to salt water, that’s the reason for their positions in the sky.

Who were the knowledge holders of the sacred sources of ecological heritage?
Quite simply the answer is that we human beings are the guardians of today;
However, the ultimate question is what skills do we require? What types of learnings should we possess? What types of praxis do we have to master, in order to qualify as guardians, as protectors, as researchers and as evolutionary beings who know our place in the web of life
