  • Barriers to and opportunities for the restoration of mana in emergency management legislation and its implementation for Māori

    Open AccessMatthew Rout, Shaun Awatere et al.ARTICLEDisasters2025References: 14

    Ever since colonisation by the British in 1840, Māori, the indigenous peoples of Aotearoa New Zealand, have been fighting to reclaim their mana (authority and influence) over their whenua (land). They were set to regain mana in emergency management (EM) through a parliamentary Bill, but a recent change of government has seen this legislation discharged. This paper explores the barriers to and the opportunities for gains in authority and influence…

  • Indigenising the blue economy in Aotearoa New Zealand

    Open AccessMatthew Rout, John Reid et al.ARTICLEMarine Policy2024

    As significant stakeholders in the marine estate, Māori will play a central role in the proposed transition to a blue economy. While te ao Māori (the Māori worldview) aligns well with the blue economy, due to the consequences of colonisation and the specific circumstances caused by the Quota Management System and resulting Treaty of Waitangi settlement legislation addressing historic Māori grievances regarding fishing rights, Māori also face a nu…

  • A 'te ao Māori' disaster risk reduction framework

    Open AccessMatthew Rout, Shaun Awatere et al.ARTICLEDisasters2024Cited by: 4References: 24

    An ongoing change in legislation means decision-makers in Aotearoa New Zealand need to incorporate 'mātauranga' (Māori knowledge/knowledge system) in central and local government legislation and strategy. This paper develops a 'te ao Māori' (Māori worldview) disaster risk reduction (DRR) framework for non-Māori decision-makers to guide them through this process. This 'interface framework' will function as a Rosetta Stone between the 'two worlds'.…

    Open AccessRangitāne Ki Wairau Katharina Ruckstuhl, Matthew Rout et al.ARTICLEAlterNative An International…2023Cited by: 1References: 36

    Indigenous people are considering how to safeguard their natural resources, culture and knowledge against illegal, inappropriate or unauthorised use. Such protection is needed to maintain the integrity of Indigenous relationship to and control over such resources, while allowing for potential benefits from such resources to support tribal social and economic development. Using the case study of taramea ( Aciphylla aurea), a sub-alpine speargrass,…

  • Linking the taniwha and dragon

    Open AccessMatthew Rout, Xiaoli Zhao et al.ARTICLEAlterNative An International…2022

    Māori primary producers have focused their export attention to China, with many seeking to turn supply chains into value chains. Little attention is paid to the role of culture in value chain literature yet much has been made of the cultural similarities between Māori and Chinese in a business context. In this article, the concept of culturally aligned value chains is developed and explored, specifically examining how business cultures can help w…

  • Māori agribusinesses

    Open AccessMatthew Rout, John Reid et al.ARTICLEAlterNative An International…2020

    Reviews of Māori land generally focus on how the 80% identified as “under-performing” or “under-utilised” can be more productive. This article analyses the 20% of Māori Land Incorporations and Trusts classified as “high-performing” to identify what enabled their success, but to also determine any remaining constraints. It uses thematic analysis to both refine themes initially obtained during a literature review and examine the interviews. The fiv…
