Māori Maps: layering of people and place
summary
A charitable project maps and documents indigenous meeting places using GPS collected on an 18‑year field program (road trip 2008–2014) and publishes layered datasets—historic land maps, census, ownership links—on a public site that now serves descendants and agencies. It holds 779 marae mapped, runs on Google API + Drupal CMS, and treats data as held in trust so releases require maintained relationships; community corrections (3–4 emails/week) are the main quality control.
