“…Figure 1 also highlights how the realm of Te Ao Mārama has no clear end but is infinite. According to Waitoki (2016), Te Ao Mārama extends beyond the living and continues into the realm of Hine-nui-te-Pō (the goddess of death).…”

Through the creation of a mātauranga Māori framework, termed Te Kūnenga, this review has investigated how Māori teachers and Māori students have experienced inclusion in English-medium schools in Aotearoa New Zealand. Reviewed literature included qualitative published research and government reports from 2004–2022, when Ministry-led initiatives and policies focused on supporting Māori to achieve success as Māori, an era I have termed Te Ao Mārama. The findings of this review show that Māori exclusion in schools continues to persist, particularly for kaiako Māori. The findings in this review identify the need for further research into the intersectionality of Māori identities and experiences in primary and secondary English-medium schools. Furthermore, this review emphasises the importance of biculturalism in English-medium schools and the inclusion and belonging of Māori to academic success.

“…The limitations of psychology, its research methods, assessment tools and therapy models have long been argued by Indigenous researchers as a reason for pursuing a locally derived psychology that is sensitive to customs, issues and potential solutions specific to the Indigenous context (Adair, 1999). The rise of Indigenous psychologies (Allwood & Berry, 2006;Gray & Coates, 2010;Waitoki et al, 2018) is contemporaneous with a larger postcolonial agenda among researchers to decolonise the social sciences by legitimising Indigenous research methods that "prevent the prioritisation of western ways of knowing" (Drawson et al, 2017, p. 13). Indigenous research processes are politically transparent; they intentionally pursue healing, mobilisation, transformation and decolonisation for Indigenous groups (Smith, 2012).…”

Theatre Marae is a contemporary theatre practice unique to Aotearoa New Zealand, and this article outlines its application as an Indigenous-informed creative framework for qualitative research. As a research methodology, Theatre Marae is based in a conceptual partnership between traditional and contemporary Māori performing arts, applied theatre and the therapeutic encounter. As a form of theatre pedagogy, Theatre Marae has been applied as a decolonising strategy in ensemble work, and to craft evocative theatre that honours Māori expressions of colonisation, trauma and social justice. Theatre Marae projects have been carried out in kāinga, schools, prisons, youth justice residential centres, community centres and mainstream theatres throughout Aotearoa New Zealand. Although its creative and therapeutic outcomes are influenced by both Western and Māori psychologies and performance traditions, the underlying principles and day-to-day practice of Theatre Marae are based in te ao Māori. This configuration positions Theatre Marae as an Indigenous creative framework that is also applicable to Kaupapa Māori arts-based research.

“…We use this Indigenous name to increase the visibility of marginalized groups and to strengthen mental health awareness and practices. This chapter attempts to provide insights and unpack the context in which traditional and contemporary treatment interventions are fashioned drawing on Māori (the Indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand) and Pacifica mental health approaches and perspectives informed by Indigenous research methodologies (Waitoki et al, 2018). These approaches are discussed within the context of discounted peoples and as a pushback to colonizing processes that have harmed our hearts and minds, creating consequential structural inequities and health inequalities.…”
