The Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand has opened 2020 with the release of a special issue on subjects of immense importance to Māori and to Aotearoa New Zealand. 

Toitū te whenua, whatungarongaro te tangata

Waihoki, e te purapura tuawhiti kua riro,

Kei te mumu ahurea tuakiri, e Piri,

kua tāwhaitia te paenga taumata okiokinga.

Mahue mai te nuipuku e tangi apakura nei

 

Kei te ihuoneone o te reo me ōna tikanga.

E te pia pono nō te kawa o Tāne Rore

Kua ngū, kua moe tāu wahaika

Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga and NPM researchers have contributed to the latest special issue of New Zealand Science Review, which is the first of two dedicated to Mātauranga and Science in Practice.

A series of professorial and associate professor promotions and appointments were announced at universities across Aotearoa New Zealand at the end of 2019, to bring to a conclusion a very busy and productive year.

NPM's congratulations to all those promoted.

NPM'S 2019-2020 Summer Internship programme is now well underway with an outstanding group of inspiring emerging Māori researchers, working with Principal and Associate Investigators all over the country and engaged in an exciting range of projects across our research themes.

I tēnei tau 2019 kua tukua mai e Ngā Pae o Te Māramatanga, he taumata o MAI Pitopito Kōrero (MAI Journal) kia whakaaratia mai e ngā kaituhi reo a rātou pūkenga rangahau tuhituhi ki roto i tō tātou reo rangatira. He taumata hohonu, ātaahua tēnei kia whakaaratia te kounga o te reo rangahau haepapa matatau. Ko te kōmata taketake mō āu nei kaupapa rangahau kia tuhia mai ki roto i te reo.

What do a mānuka-honey cooperative in Northland, a ginseng exporter in the King Country and a prison services provider in Dunedin have in common? All are examples of Māori-owned business forging a distinctive identity in New Zealand’s economic and social future.

Since 2017 a specialised team based out of the University of Waikato and led by NPM Principal Investigator Dr Haki Tuaupiki have been working on identifying the traditional Māori language of navigation with the NPM scoping project Te Mātauranga Wakatere Waka.
