We will explain the significant role that insects play in Māori culture as food, medicine, and cultural narratives. Finally, we'll discuss how revitalising potential future food sources like insects benefits from Indigenous knowledge and the care that should be taken when integrating it into Western science.© All rights are reserved by Fualili Jahnke-WaitoaConference Contribution - unpublishedANZSRC::300606 Food sustainabilityANZSRC::450901 Te ahuwhenua me ngā mahi ngahere o te Māori (Māori agriculture and forestry)ANZSRC::451104 Ngā mahi tauhokohoko o te Māori (Māori commerce)ANZSRC::451105 Te whanaketanga ā-hapori, ā-rohe o te Māori (Māori community and regional development)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives
