This paper discusses experiences of Mäori who self-report that they are socially assigned as Päkehä and explores these experiences in relation to Mäori identity and colonisation. Utilising Kaupapa Mäori theory, methodology and methods, semi-structured interviews were undertaken with 10 participants. Three interrelated themes were identified through a thematic analysis: claims of identity, challenges to identity and reinforcement of identity. The themes informed the conceptualisation of Te Haerenga Tuakiri, which illustrates the complexity of Mäori identity and how it is navigated by Mäori who are socially assigned as Päkehä in various ways and in various contexts.

The overarching policy strategy for Mäori education is contained in the document Ka Hikitia— Accelerating Success 2013–2017: The Mäori Education Strategy (preceded by Ka Hikitia—Managing for Success 2008–2012), out of which fall some specific Mäori education resources. One of these is Tätaiako: Cultural Competencies for Teachers of Mäori Learners. The Tätaiako framework purports to define behaviours and skills that reflect a teacher’s Mäori cultural competence to ensure the success of Mäori students, as Mäori. These competencies are identified as five traditional Mäori values and concepts: ako, manaakitanga, tangata whenuatanga, wänanga and whanaungatanga. The purpose of this article is to present a Kaupapa Mäori analysis of Tätaiako, which raises questions about its potential to improve Mäori student achievement, its underlying political purpose and the challenges inherent in the education system that may affect its successful implementation.

Mäui is remembered in Mäori narrative as a change maker, a challenger of boundaries and a trickster. However, in the 21st century these characteristics are likely to be frowned upon rather than celebrated in Aotearoa New Zealand’s education system. Mäori students experiencing complex needs, like Mäui, are known for pushing the boundaries. Rather than signalling strength of character, these characteristics are frequently viewed as deficits. This article discusses research with five Year 10 mainstream Mäori students experiencing complex needs in their lives, and how shapeshifting, as a positive mechanism, allowed the participants to enact their identities in different ways and in different contexts. Using Püräkau, a Mäori narrative qualitative research methodology, the püräkau of the participants, whose experiences or stories have been unrecognised or unheard, are privileged (Lee, 2005, 2008). Overall, the participants wanted professionals to get to know them for who they are, know that they have life aspirations and know that they are proud to be Mäori.

Although commerce is often considered to be a primarily Western activity, Mäori were, and are, just as engaged in it as anyone else and are internationally recognised today for their business entrepreneurship. Trade and exchange was a common feature in the early history of Mäori, both before and after Päkehä contact, as it was one of the main reasons for interaction. The language used in these interactions offers an insight into Mäori commercial and economic adaptability and provides a template for how te reo Mäori can further develop to support a Kaupapa Mäori way of conducting business. This article considers the significance of the Mäori language of economics by giving a brief insight into the use of te reo Mäori in 19th-century economic activity.

The Annual Child Poverty Monitor reports on child poverty measures and child-poverty-related indicators. Around one in three Mäori children are defined as living in poverty. While the Monitor is a prompt for government action to reduce child poverty, it has been criticised as presenting a negative view of the lives of Mäori children and whänau. This paper considers whether a fuller picture of the lived realities of Mäori children can be gained from routinely collected data, using a lens of tamariki Mäori wellbeing. A mauri framing for the indicator set is proposed, with three components reflecting the ihi, wehi and wana of tamariki. This paper is intended as a resource that can inform discussion of Mäoricentric indicators of Mäori children’s wellbeing as individuals, within the context of whänau and wider society.

Te reo Mäori, the Indigenous language of Aotearoa New Zealand Mäori, suffered great marginalisation due to British colonisation, the effects of which are still experienced today. We interpreted national probability data from the New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study and constructed two models. Participants rated how strongly they supported teaching Mäori language in New Zealand primary schools, from 1 (strongly oppose) to 7 (strongly support). Model 1 assessed how demographics related to support in 2015 (N = 15,821). Level of education (ranging from no education to PhD qualification) was the strongest positively correlated factor, more so than ethnicity or recent contact with Mäori. Model 2 tested a latent growth model assessing the rate of change in support over six years (2009–2015; N = 10,437). Results indicate a steady increase in support over the six years and we predict this increase to continue.
