“…The underpinning epistemological viewpoint is that of Kaupapa Mäori (KM) theory where Mäori aspirations and needs are privileged and the research is "underpinned by Mäori philosophies of the world" (Pihama, 2011, p. 49). Developed during phase one of the research, Oranga Mokopuna is based on examination of archival texts, whakataukï and oriori, and specifically informed by püräkau as utilised in the clinical therapeutic approach Te Mahi a Atua (Rangihuna et al, 2018). Lee (2009) describes püräkau as "a traditional form of Mäori narrative contain[ing] philosophical thought, epistemological constructs, cultural codes and worldviews" (p. 1).…”

“…Lee (2009) describes püräkau as "a traditional form of Mäori narrative contain[ing] philosophical thought, epistemological constructs, cultural codes and worldviews" (p. 1). Rangihuna et al (2018) describe Te Mahi a Atua as a therapeutic approach that utilises püräkau featuring ngä atua. Püräkau are shared with whaiora and whänau, followed by wänanga contextualising the challenges faced by ngä atua within the whaiora's own lived experiences.…”

“…In this paper, we describe Oranga Mokopuna, a tängata whenua rights-based approach to health and wellbeing that builds upon mätauranga Mäori approaches that foreground the treasured status of mokopuna within Mäori society (Jenkins & Mountain Harte, 2011;Pere, 1997;Pihama et al, 2015). Oranga Mokopuna is also situated within the broader body of research, policy and practices informed by mätauranga Mäori that intend to contribute positively to the health and wellbeing of Mäori in Aotearoa (Durie, 1994(Durie, , 2004Elder, 2013;Henare, 1988;Kingi, 2002;Matua Raki, 2012;Ministry of Education, 1996Pitama, Huria, & Lacey, 2014;Rangihuna, Kopua, & Tipene-Leach, 2018; Taskforce on Whänau Centred Initiatives, 2010).…”

Rights-based approaches to health in Aotearoa New Zealand have increased in recent years. However, dominant Westernised conceptualisations of rights have been criticised for their ties to colonialism and individualistic focus. This paper presents Oranga Mokopuna as an alternative which disrupts Western notions of rights that are assumed to have universal application. Based in Te Ao Mäori, Oranga Mokopuna provides a conceptual frame of reference for the realisation of tängata whenua rights to health and wellbeing. Inherent tängata whenua rights derive from and are nurtured by whakapapa from beyond the origins of the universe, and are grounded in tikanga Mäori and affirmed by the two internationally recognised instruments he Wakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tïreni and te Tiriti o Waitangi. International human rights instruments such as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples further develop and support tängata whenua rights. Our vision is for mokopuna to thrive and flourish as our rangatira of today, through the full realisation of their tängata whenua rights to health and wellbeing.

“…When Mahi-a-Atua is used, the response from whānau is a meaningful and powerful connection to the narrative that shifts perspectives and provides a space for movement and healing. 6 Further progressing Kaupapa Māori approaches and reinstating Mātauranga Māori within mental health services requires research to ascertain those factors that both facilitate and constrain the utilization of indigenous interventions. This study investigated these issues as a part of the author's research project while a fourth-year Factors that facilitate and constrain the utilization of a Kaupapa Māori therapeutic approach with Mahi-a-Atua medical student at the University of Otago in New Zealand.…”

Objectives: To further progress Kaupapa Māori ( Māori focused) approaches within mental health services this study explored the experiences of Māori clinicians from a dedicated Māori mental health service in New Zealand, with a focus on a specific Kaupapa Māori therapeutic approach, Mahi-a-Atua. Methods: A qualitative approach was used to ascertain factors that facilitate and obstruct the utilization of Mahi-a-Atua. In a focus group hui ( Māori meeting process), eight Māori clinicians discussed their experiences. Results: Facilitation of Mahi-a-Atua by Māori clinicians occurred through interconnectedness of a number of factors including cultural identity, relationships, wairuatanga (spirituality), kaitiakitanga (guardianship), validation of the model and the ability to co-work and engage in meaningful wānanga (learning) around the intervention. The extent to which clinicians used the model depended on their own perceived knowledge and confidence and how best able to integrate both cultural and clinical knowledge. Other constraining factors pertained to inadequate prior training, limited workforce development training and lack of adequate resourcing for specialized services. Conclusions: This research highlights the need for Māori focused specialized training that utilizes co-working within sessions and ongoing wānanga.

“…One is a discussion about medicines management and health equity 6 and the other tells of the development of a new kaupapa māori mental health service in the tairāwhiti where a healing approach is adopted that privileges the culture, values and traditions of its māori clients. 7 This is the kind of initiative that arises in an empty space after its predecessor can stretch no longer and collapses. two more research papers also share the Pounamu focus on māori health.…”
