A Question of Identity
Cultural connection, identity and belonging are increasingly shaped by urbanisation, mobility and the conditions of digitally integrated and often mediated life. Maintaining place‐based Indigenous relationships and responsibilities is important especially given the social, cultural or geographic distance between Indigenous people and their ancestral homelands and institutions. In New Zealand, understanding how young Māori consider their homelands…

Applying whakapapa research methodology in Māori kin communities in Aotearoa New Zealand
Indigenous research methods centralises the importance of Indigenous ways of researching, validating and interpreting knowledge. In Māori kin‐community (kāinga) contexts this methodology is called whakapapa. It is an ethical approach to research. Through three kāinga case studies, our article explores whakapapa methodology as an expression of Kaupapa Māori research. We explore the importance of co‐productive relationships or whanaungatanga; co‐de…
System reset - Regenerating the marae economy

Indigenous entrepreneurship
Innovation and entrepreneurial endeavour by Māori communities is increasingly capturing the attention of academics and wider society, but like indigenous entrepreneurship studies more generally, Māori entrepreneurship is still a relatively new field of study. A gap or an opportunity in both cases is to critically examine the application of culture in entrepreneurship. Culture can of course mean many things to many people. Theoretical insights con…
Aotearoa
As an international framework with broad support, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) help to focus nations’ efforts on major issues and help policy-makers to specify areas of need for policy. While the goals are ambitious, they help to channel leaders’ thinking and action when goals are visible and normative. The goals also provide opportunity for first world nations, such as New Zealand, to examine how they apply to them. In terms of the p…
