Returning the Gift: The Emerging Politics of Toto, Blood and Plasma
This article investigates key ethical issues arising as part of the LiLACS NZ study, a study of Māori and non‐Māori living into advanced age. LiLACS NZ is the first longitudinal study of advanced ageing in the world that has an Indigenous cohort. In this article, we explore several key issues relating to the concepts of privacy and data access that have become salient in the years since the study data were collected, including (1) issues related …
Matauranga Maori and Environmental Research: The Interface of Māori Knowledge and Anthropology
In a world where scholarship is constantly evolving and adapting, Mātauranga Māori is emerging in Aotearoa–New Zealand as a unique and legitimate knowledge source. The word Mātauranga is composed of two parts: mātau, which means to know, be acquainted with, or understand, and the suffix ranga, which turns the word from a verb into a noun. Mātauranga Māori is knowledge passed down intergenerationally from Polynesian ancestors, linking kin across t…
Hauora Kaumātua: A review essay on kaumātua wellbeing
Research on hauora kaumātua, health and wellbeing constitutes a small, but growing body of literature. This review essay examines the current state of knowledge and the progress made over recent years in achieving kaumātua health and wellbeing. Health and wellbeing are not defined by the absence of disease, but by the interplay between culture, environment and whānau. While research to date has contributed enormously to the development of framewo…
Prevalence of Loneliness and Its Association With General and Health-Related Measures of Subjective Well-Being in a Longitudinal Bicultural Cohort of Older Adults in Advanced Age Living in New Zealand…
Our findings of adverse impacts on subjective well-being corroborate other evidence, highlighting loneliness as a prime candidate for intervention-appropriate to cultural context-to improve well-being for adults in advanced age
Te Ora a Ururoa
Kaitiakitanga, often translated simplistically and conveniently as 'guardianship' or 'stewardship' has in practice been intensely political - an urgent fight to stop the destruction and despoliation of sacred places and traditional food gathering sites.. Our Marsden-funded project on kaitiakitanga over harbours records the vision, strategy and hard work of Māori activists in protecting Aotearoa's lands and waters, in the hope that we can learn fr…
Ko ngā kaumātua ngā poupou o tō rātou ao: Kaumātua and kuia, the pillars of our understanding
This feasibility study examined innovations in kaupapa Māori (a Māori approach) research methods to explore kaumātua (older Māori men and women) understandings of ageing well. We designed a research pathway that brought together kaupapa Māori methods in the form of noho wānanga (a method of knowledge sharing) with kaumātua and researchers in Tutukaka in 2018. Kaumātua participants were invited as guests in a comfortable and congenial setting to s…
Predictive factors for entry to long-term residential care in octogenarian Māori and non-Māori in New Zealand, LiLacs NZ cohort
Non-Māori participants (predominantly European) entered LTC at almost twice the rate of Māori. Factors differed between Māori and non-Māori. Potentially, the needs, preferences, expectations and/or values may differ correspondingly. Research with different cultural/ethnic groups is required to determine how these differences should inform service development

Once Were Gardeners: Māra and planting protest at Ihumātao
In a 2009 speech, prominent Māori lawyer Moana Jackson said that the novel Once Were Warriors (Duff, 1990) could have been more appropriately named Once Were Gardeners (New Zealand Drug Foundation, 2009). By doing so he argued against the notion that Māori possess a “warrior gene” predisposing them to violence. Instead, Jackson maintained, Māori were more likely to have a predisposition for gardening. Gardening, or mahi māra, has been practised b…
Do household living arrangements explain gender and ethnicity differences in receipt of support services? Findings from LiLacs NZ Māori and non-Māori advanced age cohorts
Services providing practical support are a key component in the spectrum of social care assisting older people to age in place. Te Puāwaitanga o Ngā Tapuwae Kia Ora Tonu/Life and Living in Advanced Age: A Cohort Study in New Zealand (LiLACS NZ), a longitudinal study of Māori and non-Māori in advanced age, aims to determine predictors of successful ageing and to understand trajectories of health and wellbeing. This paper investigates whether house…
Introduction: River as Ethnographic Subject
Our intention in this volume is to make an original and innovative contribution to the ethnographic record of Oceania while also contributing to global debates about rivers and fresh water. Given the historical tendency for human societies everywhere to situate themselves near rivers, lakes, streams and other sources of fresh, flowing water, one might expect to find abundant, detailed descriptions of rivers in the early ethnographic record. But t…
Island Rivers: Fresh Water and Place in Oceania
Anthropologists have written a great deal about the coastal adaptations and seafaring traditions of Pacific Islanders, but have had much less to say about the significance of rivers for Pacific island culture, livelihood and identity. The authors of this collection seek to fill that gap in the ethnographic record by drawing attention to the deep historical attachments of
Multidisciplinary Research Collaborations, Vision Mātauranga Science, and the Potential of Anthropology in Aotearoa-New Zealand
Vision Mātauranga policy has been created to commodify and globalise Māori knowledge that belongs to Māori communities, and is now the expected mechanism for all engagement between university researchers and Māori communities. However, much of the risk associated with forming new collaborations rests with Māori communities, and even more so with the Māori researchers who act as intermediaries and brokers between these communities and the research…

The Key Actors of Waikato River Co-Governance: Situational analysis at work
The Waikato River is an important New Zealand waterway with a long history of people making claims to it, including Treaty of Waitangi claims by Māori for guardianship and ownership rights. The claims process has most recently culminated in Waikato-Tainui and the Crown signing a 2009 Deed of Settlement for the river.1 The 2009 deed establishes a new co-governance structure for the river, with equal Māori and Crown representation. However, what ha…
Māori Research Collaborations,MātaurangaMāori Science and the Appropriation of Water in New Zealand
This article is an exploratory piece which introduces an argument that a new Māori-science discourse for freshwater has emerged in New Zealand. At the heart of the discourse is the Māori word mātauranga. Drawing on my attendance at a recent Māori water symposium, this work will track the shifting power relationships and fluid boundaries of groups of people with interests in science and claims to freshwater resources. With a focus on the words and…
River Ownership: Inalienable Taonga and Impartible Tupuna Awa
This article examines Maori relationships with the State, the ownership of rivers and issues of identity. At a meeting at Hopuhopu which was attended by over sixty Waikato elders, Waikato iwi’s principal negotiator for Treaty of Waitangi claims Robert Mahuta declared: 'We don’t need a bloody court document to tell us we own the river, we know we do'. This paper examines Maori understandings of ownership. However, as I hope to illustrate, in many …
