Rapid developments in the fields of intergenerational trauma and indigenous health worldwide have posed novel ethical challenges and philosophical threats to indigenous communities. This, alongside an existing need to further support and protect Māori researchers, participants and academics, means that a more comprehensive understanding of Kaupapa Māori methodologies and ethical strategies has become increasingly necessary.

Project Summary: Parks and reserves land, if not conservation or national parks, are governed by local authorities, guided by the Reserves Act 1977. Local authorities must give effect to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi (TOW), similar to that of the Crown. It is not clear where and how the principles of the TOW fit with the preservation and protection of the reserve given the Reserves Act is specific about the well-being of the reserve, rather than prioritising those with ancestral links to the land now delineated as a reserve.

As this project unfolds, whānau responses to challenges they have experienced will be documented, and a whānau research methodology will be developed. Through this project, an innovative space of whānau narratives and whakapapa connections will be created, and provide insight into the organisation, perseverance, and preservation of whānau and whakapapa over time.
