“…The significance of the outcomes achieved by Māori-led pandemic responses become further elevated when COVID-19 is understood as providing a unique opportunity for iwi, hapū and rōpū Māori to authentically activate foundational principles of a disruptive Kaupapa Māori theory. Approaches centred in Indigenous knowledge are ‘disruptive’ in that they seek to explicitly challenge the status quo so as to effect some form of radical change [ 28 ]. Deliberately intended to disturb “the sense of comfort and complacency that is characteristic of Western epistemologies” [ 29 ] (p. 3), when applied to a health system context, a disruptive approach will not only displace old systems, but also create new functionalities, particularly in relation to addressing the needs of those previously underserved [ 28 ].…”

Māori, the Indigenous people of Aotearoa (New Zealand), were at the centre of their country’s internationally praised COVID-19 response. This paper, which presents the results of qualitative research conducted with 27 Māori health leaders exploring issues impacting the effective delivery of primary health care services to Māori, reports this response. Against a backdrop of dominant system services closing their doors or reducing capacity, iwi, hapū and rōpū Māori (‘tribal’ collectives and Māori groups) immediately collectivised, to deliver culturally embedded, comprehensive COVID-19 responses that served the entire community. The results show how the exceptional and unprecedented circumstances of COVID-19 provided a unique opportunity for iwi, hapū and rōpū Māori to authentically activate mana motuhake; self-determination and control over one’s destiny. Underpinned by foundational principles of transformative Kaupapa Māori theory, Māori-led COVID-19 responses tangibly demonstrated the outcomes able to be achieved for everyone in Aotearoa when the wider, dominant system was forced to step aside, to be replaced instead with self-determining, collective, Indigenous leadership.
