Amplifying the influence of Māori knowledge in environmental management
Modern mapping systems can provide almost everything there is to know about the environment, except what Māori know. So our interests are not that apparent in a mainstream context despite it being widely acknowledged that Māori have a unique and intergenerational relationship with the land- and waterscapes, and the presence of legislative requirements to reflect Māori political agenda in resource management decision-making. He Tātai Whenua is a p…
Weaving together: Decolonising global citizenship education in Aotearoa New Zealand
In 2017, as part of a restructuring of the Bachelor of Arts degree, Massey University introduced the compulsory second-year citizenship course Tū Rangaranga: Global Encounters. Tū Rangaranga is a Māori word meaning to weave together or establish connections. The course explores citizenship from a global perspective with a focus on rights and responsibilities. In the course, students are encouraged both to reflect on the multiple factors shaping t…
He Tātai Whenua: Environmental Genealogies
Whakapapa, an indigenous form of genealogy of the Māori people of Aotearoa New Zealand, is a powerful tool for understanding social phenomena. In this paper, the environmental histories of Aotearoa New Zealand are converted to whakapapa/genealogical sequences and kōrero tuku iho/narratives derived from whakapapa, to demonstrate this explanatory power. It is argued that whakapapa is much more than a method for mapping kinship relationships. Whakap…
Restoring the Feminine of Indigenous Environmental Thought
A feminist genealogy approach to governmentality is used to explore how indigenous knowledge and aspirations related to the environment become embedded into Aotearoa New Zealand environmental policy and practice. Particular consideration is given to the indigenous feminine as an impetus for change as expressed through atua wāhine/Māori female spiritual authority and powers. Political projects and activism by Māori, the indigenous people of Aotear…

Older Māori understandings of alcohol use in Aotearoa/New Zealand
It's all about Whanaungatanga: Alcohol use and older Māori in Aotearoa
This study explored the socially shared meanings of alcohol use among Indigenous older Māori in Aotearoa (New Zealand). Using a Māori-centred research approach, hui (meeting/s) were held with five kaupapa whānau (groups with a common purpose), comprising older Māori ( n = 19), who shared their perspectives of alcohol use. Kōrerorero (discussion) from each kaupapa whānau was used to configure a shared narrative of older Māori alcohol use. Alcohol …
Kaupapa Kōrero: A Māori cultural approach to narrative inquiry
In Indigenous culture, stories are a common repository of knowledge and facilitate the process of knowing. Māori academics (Indigenous to Aotearoa New Zealand) have developed approaches based on key principles of Māori research, oral traditions and narrative inquiry to express experiences as Māori. To extend this, a Māori approach called Kaupapa Kōrero was developed to gather, present and understand Māori experiences. The application of whakapapa…
The social context of alcohol use among Māori in Aotearoa/New Zealand: Reflections of life experiences of alcohol use by older Māori
To broaden public health approaches to alcohol use, this study provides an initial exploration of the social context of alcohol use among Māori in Aotearoa/New Zealand, from the perspectives of older Māori. Utilising a Māori-centred research approach, face-to-face interviews were conducted with 13 older Māori people to explore their personal experiences of alcohol use across their lifetime. Thematic analysis was used to identify common themes tha…
Socially based trajectories of alcohol use among indigenous Māori in Aotearoa/New Zealand
To build on current understandings of alcohol use, this study explored socially based trajectories of everyday alcohol use across the lives of indigenous Māori in Aotearoa (New Zealand), as described by older Māori. A Māori-centred research approach was employed using face-to-face interviews with 13 older Māori people to explore their personal experiences of alcohol use over their lifetime. Thematic analysis was used to identify key life events a…
Towards an ethic of cultural responsiveness in researching Māori and Tongan children’s learning in everyday settings
To inform a larger research programme on informal teaching and learning in everyday settings in Aotearoa New Zealand, two parallel pilot studies were conducted to determine an appropriate method for capturing the everyday learning of culturally and socio-economically diverse children. The studies took place during the six-week holiday break between school years. In one, three Māori children participated, in the other three Tongan children. This p…
The politics of government ‘support’ in Aotearoa/New Zealand: Reinforcing and reproducing the poor citizenship of young Māori parents
Despite the poor outcomes of early childbearing increasingly found to be equivocal, there remains a persistent pathologising of teen parenting, which structures government response. By applying a Foucauldian analysis to the recently introduced Young Parent Payment, this article examines the political rationalities that shape government responses and welfare assistance for young parents in Aotearoa/New Zealand. A biopolitical concern for the good …
Indigenous-Environmental-Autonomy-in-Aotearoa-new-Zealand
British colonization of Aotearoa New Zealand diminished the influence of the tribal territory on Indigenous autonomy, identity and belonging. Yet land is still key to securing Indigenous futures. This paper explores the reassertion of Indigenous autonomy over the environment. A governmentality critique is used to explore efforts to embed indigeneity into environmental politics. As part of this critique three examples of Indigenous environmental a…
Karanga mai ra: Stories of Māori women as leaders
This paper takes a fresh look at Maori women and leadership through individual and collective storytelling. Stories or pūrākau about Maori women leaders involved in environmental sustainability, employment rights, and sport are used to reveal the often silenced realities of Maori women’s leadership and challenge dominant leadership discourse. Findings suggest mana wahine/the power and authority of women is a critical element of Maori women’s lead…
Indigeneity and Trends in Recognizing Māori Environmental Interests in Aotearoa New Zealand
Valuing indigeneity is a recent phenomenon despite a long tradition in Aotearoa New Zealand of mechanisms that recognize Māori rights and interests. Political pressure to acknowledge indigeneity has been a prerequisite to greater recognition of Māori rights and interests in environmental policy. Māori involvement is now a feature of the state resource management system; however, more substantive forms of power-sharing is sought to secure tribal a…
The dynamics of hapū research relationships
The Whakaki Lake Trust has a long history of being an active kaitiaki of Whakaki Lake and has developed a hapū‐based restoration and enhancement programme at the Lake property. Part of this programme has involved working with a range of external agencies and researchers. Research relationships have become an important part of the restoration process to build the capability and capacity of hapū to execute activities associated with restoration. In…

Te Hoe Nuku Roa: A journey towards Maori centered research
Maori people have a unique body of knowledge that, while based on ancestral traditions, has adapted to meet con-temporary challenges. While Maori knowledge is widely applied in Maori communities it is now increasingly being used in mainstream domains.This paper will focus on a project known as Best Out-comes For Māori: Te Hoe Nuku Roa Maori Profiles, a longitudinal Maori household project with a focus on Maori development in cultural, social and …
Molecular and Isotopic Demonstration of the Processing of Aquatic Products in Northern European Prehistoric Pottery
A number of charred surface residues, adhering to ceramic containers, were obtained from various coastal and inland sites in north‐west Europe dating from the sixth to the fourth millennium cal bc . In order to investigate the use of these vessels and in particular to identify any marine products, the residues were subjected to carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis. Variation in carbon isotope ratios between different samples indicated that…
