The demand for Māori involvement in New Zealand’s built environment has grown significantly in the past decade. This includes Toi Māori (Māori creative works), strategic planning, creating taonga, cultural leadership and co-designing projects.
He Toi Whakairo, He Mana Tangata lays out remuneration guidelines for commissioning works from Kaihanga Toi Māori (Toi Māori practitioners) and establishes an industry benchmark for price standards for the works they create.
A key action to come out of 2024’s Ngā Toi Māori Industry Development Plan, the report builds on insights from a wānanga held with ringatoi Māori in February and further contributions from those working in the industry.
Alongside the report sits a Rauemi (resource) that provides Kaihanga Toi Māori with advice to help them scope and price commissioned Toi Māori work.
