Pūrākau leading to better health
A top of the South Island iwi wants to use storytelling as the basis for its health and wellness strategy.
Kaikaiawaro Charitable Trust, the charitable arm of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Kuia, has received Health Research Council funding to capture pūrākau and turn them into action.
Rūnanga general manager David Johnston says iwi researchers will work with Waikato University’s Te Kotahi Research Institute.
