“…The work of Hënare builds on both Hyden's (1980) economy of affection and Mauss's notion of gift economies (Mauss & Halls, 2014); however, its principles and underpinning themes are based on traditional Mäori values and understandings of the economy. Therefore, the economy of mana, although a nascent body of literature, is founded on mätauranga Mäori and thus premised on well-established domains of enquiry within the wider Mäori literature (for a more in-depth discussion on (a) traditional Mäori economies, see Firth, 1929;Petrie, 2006;Puckey, 2011;Royal, 2003; well-beings, see Roche, Haar, & Brougham, 2015;Spiller, 2010;Spiller et al, 2011;Nicholson, Spiller, & Pio, 2017; mätauranga Mäori, reciprocity and gift exchange, see Ahu, Hoare, & Mamari, 2011;Bishop, 1999; E. T. Durie, 1994;Henry & Pene, 2001;Mane, 2009;Metge, 2002;Pihama, Cram, & Walker, 2002;L. Smith, 1999).…”
