Ko Kupe Te Tupuna
Get PDFThe book “The Tail of the Fish” was publised in 1968 and written by a Te Aupouri kuia, Matire Kereama (nee: Hoeft) of the far north of Aotearoa, New Zealand. I grew up with this book as my grandmother would read the stories to me at bedtime.

Wassup! Methamphetamine
Get PDFDefying the odds of methamphetamine (P)…The kaupapa is eXpressed through the lenses of personal eXperiences of an independent Māori wahine and the impacts these eXperiences have had on my life. To understand this unique journey of resilience in restoration of my mana and wairua I had to go back to my roots.

This model is child centred and focuses on the principles of mana, mauri, wairua and whakapapa, being underpinned by the notion of tapu as “being with potentiality for power... It is the sacred life force that reflects the state of the whole person (Mead, 2003, p. 32). The opening statement of the early childhood curriculum Te Whāriki supports Mead saying, “all children are born with immense potential” (Ministry of Education, 2017, p. 2) Each of these principles are innate gifts speaking to the regard and high esteem in which young children are held and assist in drawing out the potentiality of each child
Ka Mua, Ka Muri: A New Transformative Leadership Theory Based on a Prophecy by Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Turuki
Get PDFIn this paper, I will argue that for Māori - for whom time is cyclical - looking back and developing leadership models based on the leadership traits and achievements of our ancestors is imperative. Indeed, for Māori, ka mua, ka muri - we walk backwards into the future.
