“…This is often compounded by their abusers being professional support people whose role should be to protect and assist them (Cramer & Plummer, 2009). Bevan-Brown (2013) found that both Mäori and non-Mäori have exclusionary attitudes and practices that are embedded in their cultural practices, which can cause tensions for whänau hauä. For instance, some whänau hauä may experience access restrictions to marae if their guide or mobility dogs are prohibited.…”

Mäori directly or indirectly experience disability at a higher rate than any other population group in Aotearoa New Zealand. Despite one in three Mäori having some form of disability, Mäori have less access to support and health and disability services. Currently, gaps exist in knowledge related to Mäori and disability, and this is not helped by disabled Mäori being excluded from health and disability policy and service planning forums. With regard to disability frameworks, the medical model and the social model are the predominant northern hemisphere approaches to working with disabled persons. These models view disability in an individualised manner that is not relevant for many Indigenous disabled persons whose worldview is holistic, relational and collective in nature. In this paper, we critically examine current approaches to working with disabled Mäori and their experiences as Indigenous disabled persons before presenting Whänau Hauä as an alternative Indigenous approach to disability.

“…Furthermore, Western culture is described as disabling and the Navajo culture as empowering. Māori values are supportive of inclusion according to Bevan-Brown (2013). In an examination of three research studies she has conducted, Bevan-Brow (2013) concludes that Māori values should be incorporated in education and disability services, which would make service provision more culturally sensitive, thus contributing to inclusion for all The BC Ministry of Education has ten special needs categories that can be assigned to children, of which Autism Spectrum Disorder is one.…”

This research project set out to examine the meaning of music for five First Nations children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder in British Columbia, Canada. A pan-tribal framework within an Indigenist research paradigm was used. Data were collected during visits in 2013 and 2014. Five First Nations children with different tribal affiliations and living locations, their families, and professionals were engaged in the project. Methods were conversations, observations, filmed observations, interventions, and notes. It was found that current autism discourses and practices are based on a deficit model within Western paradigms, and therefore not compatible with inclusive, First Nations worldviews and perceptions of autism representations. Music is used for purposes such as relaxation, communication, and when studying. Indigenous music is not used in targeted music interventions. This article presents unique material, emphasizing the lack of cultural sensitivity, and colonial residue in music interventions for First Nations children with autism.
