Kua tīmata he kaupapa whakatairanga i ngā marae o te rohe o Waikato mā te arotake i te whanaketanga o tēnā marae, o tēnā marae. E toru ngā wāhanga o te kaupapa arotake nei ko ngā whare, ngā tikanga, ngā kawa me te whakahaere marae. Ko Vance Winiata (Tainui, Ngāti Raukawa ki te tonga) te kaikōkiri i te kaupapa nei. Ko Te Puni Kōkiri tētahi o ngā kaitautoko. Kua whakamanahia a Vance hei kairēhita wāriutanga, nā reira ko te mahi tuatahi ko te arotake i te wāriu o ngā inihua mō ngā marae. Kua oti kē i a ia he rīpoata e whakarārangi nei i te ora me te wāriu o ngā whare kia tika ai te inihua e utu nei ngā marae.
