Decolonizing the psyche: Indigenous spirituality and the interconnectedness of land and well-being
Indigenous communities have long understood the role of spirituality in supporting well-being. However, psychology today has largely marginalized the role of spirituality in well-being. In this article, we seek to recenter spirituality in psychological inquiry, through an exploration of Māori (the Indigenous Peoples of New Zealand) youth articulations of how wairua (spirituality) informs their relationships to tūrangawaewae (ancestral land) and s…
Who are the Māori “in-between”? Indigenous diversity and inequity across descent, ethnicity and Iwi knowledge
Policies increasingly reinforce the self-determination of Indigenous peoples, but issues remain around group definitions. Colonization has led to (de)identification with Māori (New Zealand's Indigenous peoples) identity markers. We explore differences between Māori on combinations of descent, ethnicity and Iwi (extended kinship group) knowledge in the 2013 Census, and self-reported discrimination. There were six groups within the Māori descent po…
(Re)emergence of Pūtaiao: Conceptualising Kaupapa Māori science
Overcoming the long-standing distrust of ‘research’ is especially challenging within the colonial structures of Western science. This article aspires to rise to this challenge by conceptualising Pūtaiao as a form of Indigenous research sovereignty. Grounded in Kaupapa Māori Theory, Pūtaiao is envisioned as a Kaupapa Māori way of doing science in which Indigenous leadership is imperative. It incorporates Māori ways of knowing, being, and doing whe…
Te Tapatoru: A model of whanaungatanga to support rangatahi wellbeing
Whanaungatanga (nurturing of relationships) is at the heart of wellbeing for rangatahi (Māori youth), yet little research has considered how rangatahi understand and experience whanaungatanga. Furthermore, policy makers, organisations and practitioners have had limited guidance to reflect on whanaungatanga with young Māori in ways that support rangatahi wellbeing and aspirations. As part of a broader photo‐elicitation project on whanaungatanga wi…
Why would you give your children to something you don’t trust?’: Rangatahi health and social services and the pursuit of tino rangatiratanga
Persistent health inequities between rangatahi Māori (Indigenous young people) and other young people within Aotearoa New Zealand are incurred by a colonial machinery of institutions, service systems and sociocultural contexts that facilitates the marginalisation of Māori. Despite a skilled and dedicated Māori workforce, current service contexts severely limit the innovation of Māori practitioners working from a basis of mātauranga Māori (Māori w…
