	Taonga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Taonga is the Maori word for a treasured thing, whether tangible or intangible.
		The word taonga has constitutional significance in New Zealand, as article two of the Treaty of Waitangi guaranteed that the Maori signatories would retain the possession and enjoyment of their taonga under British rule.
		This has created an incentive for such things as radio frequencies, which were unknown at the time of the treaty, to be classified as taonga so that they may be claimed under this provision of the treaty.

	Section 4: Results. Coordinated Monitoring of New Zealand Wetlands , Phase 2, Goal 2
		In the final monitoring assessment form therefore, it was agreed because of confidentiality that only the number of taonga will be recorded on the assessment form (although full lists will be held by Mäori groups), and the change in the number of taonga will be recorded in subsequent assessments.
		Furthermore, it would be helpful to know from taonga lists, what taonga could be brought back into a particular wetland, and the key steps needed for habitat restoration or rehabilitation.
		This is often analogous to a shift away from cultural values, if a high number of taonga have been lost, or if the state of mauri is adversely affected by modification or contamination.

	The Maori Law Review - February 2001
		However, the real issue was in what sense Parliament intended taonga to be used when it required in s6(d) that ERMA take into account "the relationship of Mäori and the culture and traditions with their ancestral lands, water, sites, waahi tapu, valued flora and fauna, and other taonga".
		Her Honour also agreed with the finding that ERMA did recognise the Treaty requirement to actively protect spiritual taonga under s8, but rejected the view that the principle of active protection of spiritual taonga could never mean that decisions under the Act were made in accordance with Mäori spiritual beliefs.
		It is a taonga of immeasurable importance to Ngäpuhi and an asset with the potential to strengthen the whole region.

		For Maori the wearing and handing down of Taonga tuku iho (family heirlooms) mirrors the whakapapa process.
		It becomes the aho (sinew) by which you can sew into your existence those tupuna in your whakapapa and gives effect to connecting you spiritually to their lives and events and they (whether living or deceased) to your life and events.
		Similarly, the creation of taonga (treasures) from bone celebrates the life of those who have relinquished their physical state, and is acknowledged as an appropriate way of maintaining the mauri of the animal and/or the tupuna.
