A presentation from Museums and the Web 2010. This paper provides an assessment of the success of SimPā from two perspectives: the milestones and objectives required of formal reporting and a more holistic Te katoa approach (everything). The SimPā project is a multiyear collaborative project that aimed to convey and strengthen Māori culture, tikaka and knowledge using digital technology. In short, the project aimed to provide a means of telling Māori stories in 3D game format. After five years, the project has achieved this through active engagement and participation, but the final outcomes are very different from those originally conceived. The representations of landscapes are examined in detail, from one perspective as providing the film sets for stories, and again as integral to the tribal context.

Objective 2: Develop a software tool for creating specific Māori virtual environments: the “SimPā toolkitObjective 3: Develop and test tools for the use of games in teaching Māori concepts. Objective 4: Develop techniques and practices for the further use of GamePā Objective 5: Develop a new specialist area in education: Māori digital content Objective 6: Develop a process of adoption of this initiative beyond the collaborating partners

12. Process of partnerships of ideas and capabilities rather than technology

13. engaged in wider knowledge , application of digital technology

17. Rūnaka actively using SimPā to connect with their youth

19. Need to abandon a linear flow to accommodate a process that is very much more organic.

20. SimPā toolkit has ended up being much more about process – partnerships of ideas and capabilities – than about the technology.

21. The project has taken far more partnership negotiation than the team ever imagined.
