Exploitation of geothermal taonga at Ohaki has resulted in irreparable damage to whānau land, tribal land and the marae reservation, including major land subsidence, devastation of wāhi tapu, and groundwater impacts. The whānau, determined to shift from grievance mode to (eco)development mode, are committed to caring for and regenerating their whenua. This article outlines a whānau journey of re-establishing papakāinga. Their narratives provide insights and key eco-development factors which provide a blueprint for resilient whānau-based living, based on the practice wisdom of their tūpuna. Key factors include: whakapapa, whenua, whanaungatanga; science, technology and innovation; and partnerships and collaboration. These components and the overall model have been tested in the context of another whānau grouping whose positive feedback and applicability of the model gave the authors confidence to share it wider. Hopefully encouraging other whānau to consider papakāinga establishment, and more confident in determining their own resilient futures.

Global studies attest that early engagement with childbirth education (CBE) classes enhances maternal and infant health outcomes. In Aotearoa New Zealand, Māori participation rates in CBE classes are lower than those of their non-Māori counterparts. Current CBE classes are designed and delivered using a predominantly Western medicalised approach that negates Māori birthing knowledge, expertise, and values. However, sporadically, Kaupapa Māori CBE classes are being delivered. This article draws on a wider study that explores the Hapū Wānanga (HW) CBE programme, a by Māori, for Māori pregnancy and parenting initiative. This mixed-method interpretive study used retrospective post-course survey data of 1,152 participants over a three-year period from the HW based in the Waikato District Health Board region. Data explored the programme’s quality, the impact on levels of knowledge and understanding, and the overall experiences and views of participants. This artice interrogates the factors that shaped participation, engagement and acceptability of the HW for participants.

Te Reo Irirangi o Te Hiku o Te Ika
In the modern age of technology in Aotearoa, mana Māori motuhake, kaitiakitanga and data sover-eignty are all interconnected. Each provides distinct insight into how Māori people and organisations (as well as other Indigenous peoples) can ensure the protection of knowledge and data. This article discusses these concepts before illustrating what they look like on a practical level by exploring the narrative of Te Reo Irirangi o Te Hiku o Te Ika (Te Hiku Media). Since its inception over 30 years ago, Te Hiku Media has embarked on a range of projects to support the use of Māori and other Indigenous languages in a range of domains, in particular, in the digital world.

Kaupapa Māori early years provision (KM-EYP) has underpinned efforts to revitalise Māori language and culture throughout Aotearoa New Zealand. Although many tamariki and whānau have benefited from engagement in KM-EYP, less than 20% of tamariki Māori currently participate. Kaupapa Māori psychological research is needed to better understand what facilitates participation among whānau who attend KM-EYP. This article describes findings from a study that aimed to understand whānau engagement in KM-EYP. An online survey was developed to test findings of an earlier qualitative phase of an overall study. The survey was completed by 121 parents/grandparents whose tamariki had attended one KM-EYP centre in Taranaki, at some stage, since it opened in 1994. This article reports on the top ranked motivations of whānau to enrol their tamariki in KM-EYP and the top ranked facilitators of, and barriers to, their engagement. The findings provide novel evidence about what impacts whānau participation and engagement in KM-EYP.

This systematic review centres planning, policy and/or strategic developments and implementation of climate change adaptation with Indigenous groups in Australia, Pacific Islands, Canada and the United States. We used PRISMA protocols to search five databases. The search was organised around three core areas: Indigenous people groups, climate change strategic planning, and Indigenous knowledge and active participation. A total of 6,338 articles from five databases were identified. Records were screened by title and abstract, leaving 87 articles that were assessed by full text. A total of 22 studies were included. The He Pikinga Waiora Implementation Framework was used as a matrix to analyse included articles. While studies included Indigenous groups in their research, most did not score highly for active inclusion of Indigenous knowledge, integrated knowledge translation or systems change. In general, studies had mediocre processes of inclusion that resulted in average responses and modest influence in decision-making forums.

This article has been inspired by doctoral research that focused on the pathway to leadership for wāhine Māori. For the purpose of the study, a mana wahine theoretical framework was created to analyse the lived experiences and character of several Māori women leaders. Known in the study as the Moko Wahine framework, it is embedded in Māori cultural values. A key aspect of the Moko Wahine framework is the potential to strengthen the Indigenous identity of women leaders who are of Māori descent. This theoretical framework is drawn from the characteristics and values of Moerangi Ratahi, a Māori woman leader of Ngāti Awa who lived from the mid-1800s through to the late 1900s. However, I present the framework for all wāhine Māori because the principles are not iwi-specific. I introduce here the Moko Wahine framework as a tool to guide and nurture Māori women who sit in leadership positions now and in the future.

Indigenous people are over-represented as professional players in many sporting codes, and recently a trend has developed whereby Indigenous athletes are choosing to play internationally for their heritage nations as opposed to the top-tier countries they reside in. With regard to rugby league and rugby union, many of these athletes are Pasifika who have had minimal exposure to their heritage nations, being born and raised in, for example, Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia or the United States. Nevertheless, this cohort is increasingly choosing to play for their heritage nations, despite the substantial cut in pay and available resources this decision entails. Throughout this commentary, these athletes are not viewed as mere individuals. Instead, we acknowledge their relationality—that is, the fact that they are intertwined in collective networks of family and nationhood. As researchers from the Pasifika community, we explore the factors which contribute to Pasifika athletes choosing to play for their heritage nations. By analysing the rise of Mate Ma‘a Tonga, Tonga’s national rugby league team, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of the cultural pride—the connection to family and heritage nation—that drives these athletes to play for this team, and the subsequent implications for wellbeing and performance.
在许多体育规范中,土著居民作为职业球员的比例过高,最近出现了一种趋势,即土著运动员选择代表他们的传统国家参加国际比赛,而不是代表他们居住的顶级国家。在橄榄球联盟和橄榄球联盟方面,这些运动员中有许多是帕西菲卡人,他们很少接触到自己的传统国家,比如在新西兰、澳大利亚或美国出生和长大。然而,这群人越来越多地选择为他们的传统国家效力,尽管这一决定意味着收入和可用资源的大幅减少。在整个评论中,这些运动员并不仅仅被视为个人。相反,我们承认它们之间的关系,也就是说,它们在家庭和国家的集体网络中交织在一起。作为来自帕西菲卡社区的研究人员,我们探索了促使帕西菲卡运动员选择为他们的传统国家效力的因素。通过分析汤加国家橄榄球联盟球队Mate Ma 'a Tonga的崛起,我们的目标是更深入地了解促使这些运动员为这支球队效力的文化自豪感——与家庭和传统国家的联系,以及随之而来的对健康和表现的影响。

Climate change is the most grievous threat of the 21st century and disproportionately affects politically marginalized communities such as Indigenous peoples. As custodians of approximately 80% of the planet’s biodiversity, Indigenous cultures have practiced sustainable management of ecosystems and resources over millennia providing vital pathways for humanity to better mitigate accelerating climate change impacts. This article argues that a rights-based approach is an important legal avenue to help better protect and advance Indigenous peoples’ rights and the biodiversity in their regions. The challenge is to develop a framework that incorporates Indigenous rights into international human rights law while obtaining judicial buy-in by domestic legal systems and nations. Drawing from international legal instruments to better protect and bolster Indigenous rights, and using Aotearoa New Zealand as a case study, this paper identifies how rights of Indigenous communities can be enhanced while serving the global goals of climate change mitigation and adaptation.
