Information on Traditional uses of New Zealand native plants. In a project initiated by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) in the late 1980s, historical records were searched for information on the economic and cultural uses of harakeke or New Zealand flax. This information was put into a database for easy access. During the 1990s, early publications and manuscripts were searched for details on the traditional uses of all New Zealand native plants, as part of research for a proposed ethnobotanical garden. Information gathered was added to the existing database on harakeke.

The Maori Education Trust (Te tari o nga kaitiaki mo nga take Matauranga Maori ) was formed under the Maori Education Foundation Act 1961. Its basic objective was to encourage Maori into tertiary education. The initial scholarships were derived from public raised funds and private bequests which were subsidised by Government. Additional income is derived by the provision of fee-based service contracts. In 1993 the Maori Education Act 1961 was repealed and replaced by the Maori Education Trust Deed and this remains today.
