KAITIAKITANGA
Is a deep relationship between the spiritual realm, humans and the natural world. - Māori. The traditional concept of Kaitiakitanga is part of a complex, social, cultural, economic and spiritual system that has been established through long association of iwi and hapū with land and waters. Kaitiakitanga has been described as guardianship or protection.
One definition of ‘tiaki’ is to guard, but depending on the context in which it is used, it also means to preserve, keep, conserve, nurture, protect and watch over. The prefix ‘kai’ with the verb ‘tiaki’ denotes the agent of the action of ‘tiaki’. Therefore, a kaitiaki is a guardian, keeper, preserver, conservator or protector. The addition of the suffix ‘‘tanga’ denotes preservation, conservation and protection.
