“…Inequities in health reflect inequities in society. Mäori are overrepresented in low socioeconomic groups, making it more difficult for Mäori to afford quality health services or indeed any health services at all (Marriott & Sim, 2014). Income inequality is associated with a range of adverse life conditions which negatively influence health (Lynch, Davey Smith, Kaplan, & House, 2000).…”

A number of studies demonstrate Mäori receive a poorer standard of healthcare than Päkehä and other non-Mäori in New Zealand. Implicit bias on the part of healthcare providers has been cited as a key contributor to health inequities internationally; however, the concept has not yet been explored in relation to Mäori health. This paper addresses that research gap and describes a theoretical basis for further research on the role of bias for Mäori health outcomes. Drawing from empirical research and theories formulated in social psychology, the paper considers the relevance of implicit bias, stereotyping and stereotype threat for Mäori health outcomes. These have not been integrated and applied to the problem of Mäori health inequities per se; however, it is proposed that they provide a useful conceptual lens for understanding how interpersonal dynamics between Mäori and Päkehä help perpetuate health disparities. Suggestions for further research are also made.

“…It is doubtful if Whānau Ora's work to reverse negative social outcomes will be successful long-term unless there are improvements in the disproportionately poor material circumstances many Māori face (Marriott & Sim 2014 However, alongside reviewing 'the effectiveness of current approaches and responses against a backdrop of Better Public Services and getting value for money for taxpayers', the Committee prioritises the neoliberal view that '[w]ork is the primary route out of poverty … and educational achievement is the platform for creating opportunity' and mobility (Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet 2016). Thus, it frames individuals, rather than structural inequalities, as the 'problem'.…”

She also researches on matters related to Māori resources, such as freshwater, mining and renewable energy.Avril Bell is an Associate Professor in Sociology at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. Her research is focused particularly on Aotearoa/New Zealand and centres on issues of settler colonialism, indigenous-settler relations and possibilities for decolonisation. She is the author of Relating Indigenous and settler identities: Beyond domination (2014, Palgrave Macmillan) and many journal articles and book chapters on these topics. Cathryn Eatock is a Gayiri/Badtjala woman, with ancestral connections to the lands of central Queensland, Australia. Cathryn is a PhD Candidate within the Department of Sociology and Social Policy at the University of Sydney, following her completion of a Master in Human Rights. Cathryn is also the Chairperson of the Indigenous Peoples Organisation, a coalition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations and individuals in Australia that advocates for Indigenous rights, nationally and at the United Nations.Daphne Habibis is an Associate Professor of Sociology in the School of Social Sciences, and former Deputy Director of the Institute for the Study of Social Change at the University of Tasmania. The common thread throughout her career has been a concern with social inequality, with the last decade focusing on social housing and Indigenous issues, including race relations and remote Indigenous housing. She has over 60 publications and is co-author of Social inequality in Australia: Discourses, realities and futures (2009, Oxford Unversity Press), as well as Australia's best-selling sociology textbook Sociology (2016, 6th edition, Pearson). Daphne combines theoretical, scholarly work with applied policy analysis. Her recent work examined how housing provision to remote communities is at the intersection between Aboriginal aspirations for self-determination and the state's agenda of active citizenship for Aboriginal people. Earlier work included developing a research agenda on kindness as an ethical emotion that extends beyond the interpersonal to institutional domains. Current projects include an Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute study on how housing is implicated in improving outcomes for women and children in situations of family violence, and an ARC Linkage grant that asks Aboriginal people for their views on settler Australian people and culture. PrefaceThe retreat of nation states from recognition of indigenous peoples' rights in the 21st century has been experienced within a broader ascent of politics, which has been framed within the rubric of neoliberalism.In November 2016,...

“…This continues to be reflected in negative Māori educational, health, employment and justice statistics (Marriot & Sim, 2014) whose study suggests worsening outcomes for Māori people in the form of increasing gaps in negative social indicators when compared to the Pākehā population.…”

Before the arrival of Europeans in Aotearoa, New Zealand and their subsequent settlement in the 1800s, there was no concept of a Māori identity. Over time, however, as a result of rapid colonisation, Māori became a minority population in New Zealand. Consequently, the term Māori as normal or usual, began to lose its meaning (Webber, 2008), and another meaning began to emerge based on contrasts with the Pākehā settler population. This paper explores the complex and increasingly diverse nature of Māori identities in contemporary Aotearoa/New Zealand, including contemporary early childhood contexts. It discusses the importance of negotiating the terrains of cultural knowledge, values and understandings in order to define what 'being Māori' means for teachers and children in an increasingly diverse and complex settings.
