The Māui Mua project investigated the experiences of six tauira Māori graduates who were the first in their whānau to enter tertiary education. Successful graduates of the Bachelor of Māori Language and Indigenous Studies at Te Puna Wānaka at Ara Institute of Canterbury Ltd (Ara) were interviewed about their learning experience, from their first day through to graduating, and commented on their motivation to study, their times of struggle and pressure, and their supports and strategies to overcome barriers to successfully complete their qualification. The learning experiences of tauira Māori were analysed using a framework informed by the Māui narrative. An outcome of this analysis was a better understanding of key factors that influence the learning journey at Ara for tauira Māori. In addition, the findings of this study informed the Māui Te Tauira pastoral support and mentoring programme and teaching practice at Ara, and guided programme design and delivery to support Māori achievement.
Māui Mua项目调查了六位tauira Māori毕业生的经历,他们是whānau中第一批进入高等教育的毕业生。坎特伯雷阿拉学院Wānaka语言与土著研究学士学位课程的成功毕业生接受了采访,讲述了他们从第一天到毕业的学习经历,并评论了他们学习的动机,他们的挣扎和压力,以及他们克服障碍成功完成资格认证的支持和策略。tauira Māori的学习经验是通过Māui叙述的框架来分析的。这一分析的结果是更好地理解了影响tauira Māori在Ara学习之旅的关键因素。此外,这项研究的结果为Māui Te Tauira牧区支持和指导计划以及Ara的教学实践提供了信息,并指导了计划的设计和实施,以支持Māori的成就。

Supporting equitable healthcare outcomes in Aotearoa New Zealand requires urgent attention. Several models of Māori health and wellbeing introduce elements and strategies that may be central to adjustment to chronic illness. This article conducts a literature review of Māori health and wellbeing models and best practice guidelines to identify what Māori see as central to illness adjustment and determine practical strategies to inform better practice in the context of chronic illness. Two overarching themes were identified as central to the adjustment process: dimensions of health and wellbeing, and whanaungatanga. In addition, five strategies to support adjustment to chronic illness were identified: developing culturally safe practices, involving a patient in their care, involving whānau in care, developing trusting relationships and collective responsibility. By acknowledging elements that Māori see as important to illness adjustment and committing to aligned strategies, healthcare practitioners can better support Māori in the context of chronic illness.

This article begins by identifying and defining a range of debilitating disorders— trauma, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and generalised anxiety—and their symptoms before presenting a statistical analysis to give scope to the impact of the disorders. The article then explores the science behind breathing and breathwork as a valuable antidote to these disorders. The whakapapa of the concept of Hā, and how the Hā tool was developed, is then described. The article then describes how the creation of a Hā habit through intention, purpose, mindfulness and presence alleviates traumatic experiences and acts as both an intervention strategy and a preventative strategy to build resilience against poor mental wellbeing. Finally, the development of a new wellbeing measuring tool called Tū and Rongo is described, and positive feedback from users of the Hā tool is presented.
本文首先确定并定义了一系列使人衰弱的疾病——创伤、创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)和广泛性焦虑——以及它们的症状,然后进行统计分析,给出这些疾病的影响范围。这篇文章随后探讨了呼吸和呼吸法背后的科学,作为治疗这些疾病的有价值的解毒剂。然后描述了“哈”概念的“瓦卡帕帕”,以及“哈”工具是如何发展起来的。然后,文章描述了如何通过意图、目的、正念和存在来创造一个哈布习惯,减轻创伤经历,并作为一种干预策略和预防策略,建立针对不良心理健康的弹性。最后,本文描述了一种名为thi and Rongo的新型幸福感测量工具的开发,并介绍了hhi工具用户的积极反馈。

In Aotearoa New Zealand, schooling is experiencing a “spatial turn” (Benade, 2019), as more large and open classroom spaces, often called flexible learning spaces (FLSs), are built by the Ministry of Education. At the same time, there has been a momentous “right-shift” (Higgins et al., 2014) towards learning Māori language and culture. The second official acknowledgement and celebration of Matariki this year, including a public holiday, is indicative of the groundswell of interest in the Māori world. These two important educational shifts are being explored in the research project entitled “A Māori Modern Learning Environment.
在新西兰奥特罗阿,学校教育正在经历一场“空间转向”(Benade, 2019),教育部正在建造更大、更开放的教室空间,通常被称为灵活学习空间(FLSs)。与此同时,在学习Māori语言和文化方面出现了重大的“右移”(Higgins et al., 2014)。今年第二次官方承认和庆祝Matariki,包括一个公共假日,表明了Māori世界的兴趣高涨。这两个重要的教育转变正在名为“Māori现代学习环境”的研究项目中进行探索。

In 2017, the Imagining Decolonised Cities (IDC) competition sought submissions for the public’s visions of a decolonised Porirua. The IDC competition was an opportunity for Ngāti Toa Rangatira to solicit utopic ideas for their city post-settlement. This article presents an analysis of the 40 entries, exploring how participants understand decolonisation enacted in an urban setting. We identified two overarching themes from the submissions that can be linked to wider theories of decolonisation, particularly Corntassel’s (2008) theory of sustainable self-determination. The first theme identified was food security, demonstrated through participant designs of community gardens, seafood harvesting stations, and larger food transportation systems. The second theme identified was “re-storytelling”, a centring of Māori identities and stories. While these efforts alone will not result in the decolonisation of Porirua, they represent tangible initiatives at the flax roots level that provide space for Māori to be Māori, and a point from which communities can drive larger decolonising initiatives.
2017年,想象非殖民化城市(IDC)竞赛征求公众对非殖民化的Porirua的看法。IDC竞赛为Ngāti Toa Rangatira提供了一个机会,为他们的城市后定居征求乌托邦的想法。本文将对40个参赛作品进行分析,探讨参与者如何理解在城市环境中实施的非殖民化。我们从提交的材料中确定了两个总体主题,这些主题可以与更广泛的非殖民化理论联系起来,特别是康塔塞尔(2008)的可持续自决理论。确定的第一个主题是食品安全,通过参与者设计的社区花园、海鲜收获站和更大的食品运输系统来展示。确定的第二个主题是“重新讲故事”,以Māori身份和故事为中心。虽然这些努力本身不会导致Porirua的非殖民化,但它们代表了亚麻根层面的切实举措,为Māori提供了成为Māori的空间,并成为社区可以推动更大的非殖民化举措的一个点。

Haka is a taonga that is steeped in whakapapa and has its origins in the creation of the universe, generating an abundance of meaning and value for Māori. On a national stage, haka is by far the most visible Indigenous ritual within the fabric of Aotearoa New Zealand’s national identity and continues to have a lasting legacy within the realm of sport. However, a major source of contention is the impact of globalisation on haka in sport, which has seen increasing issues of misuse, commodification, appropriation and tokenism. Despite the cultural significance of haka to Māori and arguably to the nation as an expression of our national sporting identity, there continues to be a general lack of understanding about the importance of whakapapa in the customary practice of haka. This paper argues the need to protect the taonga that is haka by ensuring that whakapapa is upheld and better understood. A Kaupapa Māori research framework was adopted in order to privilege Māori knowledge and voices. Research methods included the use of haka pūrākau, which were thematically examined and used to frame the data, as well as semi-structured interviews with nine Māori participants. Three key themes emerged from the research, which formed Whakawhiti te rā—an approach that advocates for more concerted efforts to understand the notion of whakapapa as a protective mechanism when using Māori rituals and taonga such as haka in sporting contexts.

Māori consider water to be the foundation of all life; it is a valued taonga gifted by our ancestors that provides sustenance and nourishment to communities and enhances hauora Māori (Royal, 2010). For generations, Māori have participated in water-related activities such as fishing, gathering kai, diving, waka and swimming (Karapu et al., 2007). It is through these activities in and around the water that hauora Māori can be enhanced. Despite this positive relationship with water, Water Safety New Zealand (2022) statistics demonstrate high drowning rates for Māori, with the 2021 drowning toll being the highest since 2001. In that year, Māori accounted for 31% of all drownings despite only comprising 17.4% of the population (Stats NZ, 2022; Water Safety New Zealand, 2022). Most of these drownings of Māori occurred while swimming (Water Safety New Zealand, 2022). With this in mind, this article will examine the significance of swimming on Māori engagement with water and therefore hauora Māori. This examination will be done using a whānau case study that was undertaken for the purpose of the lead author’s master’s research. In bringing together the key findings, a framework named Mukukai: Kaitiaki o Te Ao Kauhoe draws on five main values to describe how swimming can enhance hauora Māori. These values include kaitiakitanga, ūkaipōtanga, whakatinanatanga, whanaungatanga and whakapapa. The values are symbolised by elements of pepeha in the model to demonstrate the significance for Māori of swimming for connection to whakapapa and therefore its influence on hauora Māori.
Māori认为水是一切生命的基础;它是我们祖先赐予的一种珍贵的汤加,为社区提供食物和营养,增强了豪气Māori (Royal, 2010)。Māori世世代代都参与与水有关的活动,如捕鱼、采kai、潜水、waka和游泳(Karapu et al., 2007)。正是通过这些在水中和水周围的活动,hauora Māori才能得到增强。尽管与水有着积极的关系,但新西兰水安全(2022年)的统计数据显示,Māori的溺水率很高,2021年的溺水人数是2001年以来最高的。在那一年,Māori占所有溺水事件的31%,尽管只占人口的17.4% (Stats NZ, 2022;新西兰水安全,2022)。Māori的大多数溺水事件发生在游泳时(Water Safety New Zealand, 2022)。考虑到这一点,本文将研究游泳在Māori与水接触的意义,因此,hauora Māori。这项检查将使用whānau案例研究来完成,该案例研究是为主要作者的硕士研究而进行的。在汇集主要发现的过程中,一个名为Mukukai: Kaitiaki o Te Ao Kauhoe的框架借鉴了五个主要价值来描述游泳如何增强hauora Māori。这些值包括kaitiakitanga、ūkaipōtanga、whakatinanatanga、whanaungatanga和whakapapa。这些值用模型中的pepeha元素来表示,以证明游泳对于Māori与whakapapa的联系及其对hauora的影响的重要性Māori。

The fitness gym is an avenue where people pursue their health and well-being aspirations. In Aotearoa New Zealand, Māori have similar rates of physical activity to non-Māori; however, it is unclear how many Māori access the fitness gym. At the time of undertaking the research reported in this article, the lead author was a health advisor at a fitness gym within a Māori health provider whilst completing his Master of Physical Education. He was interested in examining whether a Kaupapa Māori gym was possible. This gave rise to a research project framed by a Kaupapa Māori theory that utilised Bourdieu’s (1986/2011) theory of capital to examine the relationship between Māori health, capital accumulation and the fitness gym. There is little known about the value of fitness gyms for Māori, and whether Māori values and principles can be integrated within the fitness gym. The research methods utilised were individual interviews, an individualised personal training session and a questionnaire. There were 23 Māori participants, who were recruited within Dunedin during August 2015. The main finding of this part of the research was that capital accumulation through all Bourdieu’s types of capital (economic, social, symbolic, bodily and cultural) was identified and enhanced through interpreting the participants’ feedback and experiences, with Kaupapa Māori theory providing the foundational methodological support for enhancing Māori voices and aspirations for individual and collective hauora throughout the research process.
