Abstract: The database contains fully referenced, detailed information on how Māori used plants to survive in New Zealand, particularly before the arrival of Europeans. Material relating to later economic uses of native plants is recorded too, though generally not on timber uses and the kauri gum trade. Fungi and seaweeds are included, and there are references to some Pacific plants, such as Pandanus, that have links to Māori culture. Also included are pertinent references on traditional resource rights and intellectual property claims relating to plant uses by indigenous peoples. The information is taken from the written record, mostly published (books, articles, newspapers) and some unpublished (such as manuscripts and letters). Sources are noted for each item. Information is generally recorded as written in the source material, without interpretation. Editorial comment is sometimes made for clarification. [Information of the supplier]
