A new survey of researchers in Aotearoa New Zealand found that less than one quarter use iwi and hapū management plans in their research process. These plans outline the issues, challenges and resource priorities that an iwi or hapū may have, as well as providing historical context for their knowledge and experiences. The survey authors say that existing plans could be a valuable resource for researchers to use as a starting point when planning the Vision Mātauranga component of their research.
