“…A traditional Mäori economy evolved as a dynamic system allowing for continuous creation, accepting and enabling creative transformative behaviours (Hënare, Lythberg, Nicholson, & Woods, 2017;Royal, 2003). The Mäori worldview centres itself around a network of values that interplay and enact with each other.…”

Writings on traditional Mäori economies have highlighted the value system that philosophically underpins them and the relational nature of trading interactions. Further, the significance of mana in sustaining economic relationships has been emphasised, leading to the concept of an "economy of mana". In this paper, we explore traditional Mäori economies, the concept of mana and the limited exploration of an economy of mana in order to propose future research directions for Mäori economic research. Despite a wealth of literature focusing on the past, and emerging research investigating the modern Mäori economy, we argue there is yet to be an articulate visioning of Mäori economic futures built upon an economy of mana. It is our contention that enhancing our understanding of where we want to go will ultimately support the development of alternative economies that will better provide for Mäori aspirations in cultural, social and economic realms. Building upon the literature, we offer a definition and operating principles for an economy of mana, and propose future research directions to build our understanding of an economy of mana with the intention of supporting Mäori aspirations and well-being.

“…The primary objective of the data collection was to explore Māori leadership knowledge that is experienced and embedded in ancestral and genealogical histories (Bishop and Glynn, 1999; Meyer, 2001, 2008). The pathway to understanding leadership in ancestral histories is through the voices of the ancestors which is expressed in the voices of their descendants (Hēnare et al, 2017; Kelly, 2012; Nicholson, 2019). In this research, we rely on Indigenous oral history as both a method to capture Māori narrative (Lee, 2009) and a methodology to understand and analyse Māori ancestral leadership (Archibald, 2008; Archibald et al, 2019).…”

Ancestral leadership: Place-based intergenerational leadership

Leadership

This article introduces the notion of ancestral leadership that emerges from intergenerational wisdom at the intersection of people, place and ancestral knowledge. Place is a key component of collective continuity in ancestral leadership that reinforces identity, belonging and intergenerational reciprocity. The findings show that places carry leadership legacies and require ongoing maintenance to ensure genealogies of leadership are available to future generations. Engagement with ancestral leadership and its practical application is not bound to tribal and cultural contexts. By knowing the place of someone’s ancestors as a lens into their leadership, one sees structures of accountability that extends beyond culturally bound contexts, and includes their leadership expressed in professional environments. The authors contribute to leadership theory by illuminating how ancestral legacies of leadership continue to inform contemporary generations of leadership and is transmitted intergenerationally within frameworks of genealogy.

“…Te Ao Marama Indigenous wisdom traditions maintain oral literatures that transmit and preserve sophisticated knowledge and understandings of the world and the place of humans within it (Cruikshank, 1994;Mahuika, 2012;Roberts et al, 2004;Struthers & Peden-McAlpine, 2005). Central to Indigenous culture, oral literatures are recognised as legitimate historical accounts that also provide temporal links between past, present and future, and between ancestors and descendants (Bishop & Glynn, 1999;Cajete, 2000;Cruikshank, 1994;Hënare, 2001;Hënare et al, 2017;Marsden, 2003;Struthers & Peden-McAlpine, 2005;Wilson, 2009). The knowledge, values, cultural practices and processes passed down via these oral literatures are often based on the cosmological stories that emphasise shared principles of interconnectedness and participation with the spiritual, natural and social communities (Cajete, 2000;Graham, 2005;Meyer, 2008;Nicholson et al, 2015;Peat, 1994;Royal, 2005;Ruwhiu & Cone, 2010;Swimme & Berry, 1992;Wilson, 2009).…”

Indigenous wisdom traditions regard knowledge as an active and creative process of coming to know. Descriptions of the emergence of knowledge are found in cosmological whakapapa narratives, which reflect and inform an Indigenous worldview. Outlined in this article is an Indigenous Mäori research paradigm that is underpinned by the cosmological whakapapa and describes knowledge creation as a relationship with experience. A Mäori methodological framework, Te Hihiri process, is offered as a research tool to keep researchers grounded in Indigenous wisdom, guided by ancestral knowledge and entrenched in spirit. Tracing the cosmological whakapapa through the stages of development and growth, Te Hihiri process promotes meaningful research, practice and theory as holistically and spiritually tied to experience.
