This repository is a place where you can find CSV files that I created for my research paper on Maori knowledge being integrated into New Zealand's environmental governance. I created these files in July/August 2024. The purpose of these files is to create easily usable data for other researchers interested in this topic to use in the future.
If you use or modify the charts or Python scripts provided, I ask that they be credited under Kimberly Benson.
