Enhancing Mātauranga Māori and Global Indigenous Knowledge 2014 was created with 14 Māori and international scholars. It describes a framework Māori and global indigenous academics can use to support learners interested in Māori and indigenous theories of knowledge.

This publication is useful for ākonga, academics and those interested in indigenous perspectives on how to strengthen indigenous knowledge.

Conversations on matauranga maori

Conversations on Mātauranga Māori

Te manu ka kai i te miro, nōna te ngahere

Te manu ka kai i te mātauranga, nōna te ao

The bird that partakes of the berry, his is the forest

The bird that partakes of knowledge, his is the world

Conversations on Mātauranga Māori 2012 is a collection of essays describing pathways to improve our understanding of mātauranga Māori.

This publication is in two parts. In the first part, Ngā Kaitūhono members provide ideas, theories, and frameworks for mātauranga Māori.

The second part describes the development of the Mātauranga Māori Evaluative Quality Assurance (MM EQA) framework and the Mātauranga Māori Quality Assurance Mark.

Conversations on Mātauranga Māori is useful for ākonga and academics interested in Māori advancement in social, cultural, educational, and economic development.

Mā whero, mā pango ka oti ai te mahi

By black and red together it is done

This Book of Proceedings 2009 records the significant intellectual exchange that took place on 24 June 2009 at Waiwhetu Marae in Lower Hutt. 

The korero at Hui Mana Tohu Mātauranga covered themes of Māori social, cultural, educational and economic development from the last 3 decades.

Out of the hui we uncovered ideas for our approach to mātauranga Māori. This will help make sure our qualification assessment and quality assurance of education is compatible with Māori values, and consistent with Māori expectations.
