He maha nga tau i whakahaeretia ai a ITM Kaikōura. He pai te kī atu he wāhanga tēnei o te iwi, ā, ehara i te whārōrō ki te kī i āwhina ki te hanga. Nō reira, i to rātau tīmatanga ki te ngaro i ngā umanga ki ngā pātaka hokohoko tuihono me ngā pātaka pūmārō i waho o te rohe, ka hiahia rātau ki te mahi.
E hiahiatia ana e Mātau te whakaako i ngā tangata whenua i runga i ngā hua rerekē i tukuna e ITM, kia kitea ai hei toa hokohoko mō te katoa, ehara i te kaihanga anake.
Ko te rongoā'Ko ngā mea i hangaia ai a Kaikōura' he whakahau mātauranga e whakamahara ana ki ngā tangata whenua, he tangata whenua hoki rātau.
