Conclusion<br />

coastal area if, in relation to that part, in<strong>te</strong>rruption <strong>wa</strong>s caused by acts of<br />

raupatu carried out by the Crown under the NZ Settlement Act 1863.<br />

view of the world and the in<strong>te</strong>rconnec<strong>te</strong>dness/relationship between all things.<br />

values in <strong>wa</strong>ys that retain their in<strong>te</strong>grity will be the challenge, which requires an<br />

appreciation and understanding of my world view;<br />
