“…Participants mentioned the importance of whanaungatanga (feeling connected) and whakawhanaungatanga (making connections) and described ease of connection by drawing on cultural similarities and shared experiences of being a nurse, living and working in Te Tai Tokerau. Whanaungatanga is defined as a value, social, and spiritual process of relating between people (Benton et al, 2013). Identity in the form of whakapapa -described as narratives of genealogies that ground and situate people in relationship to time, ancestral connections, and their native surroundings -is an added layer to these connections for Māori (Wiapo & Clark, 2022).…”

The path to increasing and fostering the Māori and Pacific nursing workforce in Aotearoa New Zealand is multifaceted and requires Indigenous solutions. As part of a national workforce programme to increase Māori and Pacific enrolled nurses in primary healthcare, the workforce team developed and supported a whakarōpū (collective grouping) to attend and present at the National Enrolled Nurse Conference. This paper reports on the experiences of five Māori and two Pacific nurses, together with three senior Indigenous nurse leaders, as a whakarōpū. Ongoing kōrerorero (conversations), both face-to-face and online, was the primary data source; however, participants also provided written and verbal feedback. Through kaupapa kōrero, a collective analysis of the data was conducted. To mitigate the barriers created by a dominant Western-centric learning culture, whakarōpū is a successful example of how to foster flourishing learning experiences for Māori and Pacific nurses. Keeping Māori and Pacific nurses connected, participating, and maintaining dialogue is essential for their collective professional development and cultural growth. The whakataukī, waiho i te toipoto, kaua i te toiroa (let us keep close together, not wide apart), describes the weaving of people, and their aspirations as Māori and Pacific nurses who feel prepared to lead and provide culturally responsive care for their communities. Supporting whakarōpū is essential for Māori and Pacific nurses to develop cultural connections, enable clinically and culturally safe spaces, and feel empowered and prepared for leadership.

“…Tapu denotes the intersection between human and the divine and is indicative of states of prohibition and restriction (Benton et al 2013). Tapu can be defined as sacred, prohibited, inviolable (Williams 1971), and requiring consideration (Prytz-Johansen 2012).…”

Connecting Science to Indigenous Knowledge: kaitiakitanga, conservation, and resource management

Indigenous Knowledge (IK) provides effective solutions to environmental threats and pressures. Using approaches that fully include Indigenous concepts, ideas, worldviews, knowledge, process, and practice helps the recovery of threatened species and endangered ecosystems, but it is essential that such work engages with Indigenous Peoples and that engagement is respectful, reciprocal, and meaningful. We support using mātauranga (Māori knowledge, culture, values, and worldview) alongside science, because incorporating socio-cultural perspectives and initiatives allows sustainability to be addressed in a more holistic way. This collaborative group of Māori and Pākehā researchers brings a range of perspectives and expertise to the challenge of working at the interface of IK and science, and practices of conservation and resource management. In developing a deeper understanding of kaitiakitanga, which is often translated as "guardianship", "stewardship", or the "principle and practices of intergenerational sustainability", when working in partnership with Māori, Western-trained scientists can meaningfully acknowledge Māori values, knowledge, process, and practice in their work. This enhanced consideration of kaitiakitanga requires bringing together intricately linked concepts such as whakapapa, rangatiratanga, mana, mauri, tapu, noa, and manaakitanga. In this paper, we aim to guide Western-trained scientists and other practitioners in understanding kaitiakitanga so that they can meaningfully engage through an enhanced understanding of Māori worldviews, knowledge, process, and practice. We also aim to highlight the synergies and differences between kaitiakitanga and conservation and resource management, whilst providing examples of how kaitiakitanga can be used to enhance conservation for holistic sustainability outcomes. We emphasise the benefits and importance of working with Māori communities for long-term partnerships based on mutual trust and respect.

“…Mātauranga comes from the root word matau, which means 'to know, be acquainted with; to understand; feel certain of ' (Williams 1971) and as such, refers to reliable, tested and socially accepted knowledge. In Samoan, 'matau' means memory and in Tahitian 'matau' means 'to be used to or accustomed to' (see Benton et al 2013). 'Mātauranga Māori' , with the cultural qualifier included, likely arose with European settlement, to mark out the space of knowing that did not relate to the Western literature, embodied in the Holy Bible: 'historically, mātauranga māori referred to knowledge arising from atua māori or non-Christian gods, which was the preserve of tohunga māori, the non-Christian priests. '…”

“…But mātauranga is now understood more broadly, representing the whole distinctive body of Māori knowledge in relation to society and environment. Furthermore, women were important holders of the knowledge, with many testifying that their mātauranga came from their kuia/grandmothers (see Benton et al 2013).…”

Mātauranga – Māori knowledge and Māori ways of knowing – developed in Aotearoa along with the cultural and epistemological identities of iwi Māori, thus is rooted in these islands and holds a well of human understanding of Aotearoa ecosystems. Mātauranga encompasses traditional and contemporary knowledge and is becoming increasingly sought after and integrated into mainstream education, research, and environmental policy in Aotearoa New Zealand. With ‘Vision Mātauranga’ a critical point of engagement for researchers, what does the scientist working in this space need to know about mātauranga? I have highlighted what I see to be key aspects of the discussion on how scientists work with those who hold and access mātauranga, and with mātauranga itself. The scholarly literature on mātauranga is extensive, so I focus on that which is relevant toscience education and science research. Throughout I describe and explore the potential of research in which mātauranga and science connect and relate.
