Foreword
This report is the product of three years' work by the authors to develop Māori stream health indicators for mauri and mahinga kai. The Ministry for the Environment is making this available as a technical report under the Environmental Performance Indicators Programme. The report provides useful information to a wide range of people with an interest in environmental indicators and resource management. The Cultural Health Index is an interim product, which will be tested for its national applicability by 2005.

- Technical Paper No. 58, Māori Environmental Indicators: Taieri River Case Study, October 1999
- Technical Paper No. 58, Māori Environmental Indicators: Taieri River Case Study, Volume 2, October 1999.
