Whakauae is unique in its position within M&#257;ori health research as it is directly accountable to Te R&#363;nanga o Ng&#257;ti Hauiti.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Since its inception, Whakauae has focussed primarily on M&#257;ori public health research, health promotion evaluation and primary care research. With the addition of new staff in 2008, we have broadened out this focus to include health services and health policy research.&nbsp; The team has grown from two staff initially to ten staff members currently. Whakauae utilises largely kaupapa M&#257;ori qualitative research methodologies however, through research&nbsp;partnerships&nbsp;we are able to offer a mixed method approach if the research requires this.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We are proud of our track record of sustainable, effective partnerships . We have strong community linkages with wh&#257;nau, hap&#363; and iwi.&nbsp; We also partner with academic institutions and health service providers in the development and delivery of research. Current partners include the University of Otago; Massey University; Auckland University of Technology; and Ng&#257; Pae o te M&#257;ramatanga, the Centre of Research Excellence for M&#257;ori; and Te Oranganui Iwi Health Authority.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"Ngati Huati Members\" src=\"/uploads/images/ngati-huati-members.png\" style=\"height:162px; width:659px\" /></p>\r\n', '', '', '', 0, 0, '', '', 'y', '', '', '', ''),

I now live with my wh&#257;nau in the Waitakere Ranges in Auckland.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I feel honoured and fortunate to be a senior researcher at Whakauae, as it allows me to be part of a dedicated and inspiring team that works to fulfil the aspirations of Ng&#257;ti Hauiti for all wh&#257;nau M&#257;ori to have health, wealth and self-determination in line with their own values.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"mailto:tanya@whakauae.co.nz?subject=Enquiry%20from%20website\">Email Tanya</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"Gillian Potaka-Osborne - Whakauae Researcher and Evaluator\" src=\"/uploads/images/Gillian-Potaka-Osborne-2022.png\" style=\"height:320px; margin-bottom:15px; width:320px\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Gillian Potaka-Osborne</h2>\r\n\r\n<h3>Senior Researcher</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ko Aotea te waka</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ko Ruapehu te maunga</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ko Whanganui te awa<br />\r\nKo &#256;tihaunui-&#257;-P&#257;p&#257;rangi te iwi<br />\r\nKo Ng&#257;ti Tuera, Ng&#257;ti Pamoana, Ng&#257;ti Pareraukawa ng&#257; hap&#363;.<br />\r\nKo Pungarehu, ko Parikino, ko Koroniti, Ko Ng&#257;tokowaru Marae ng&#257; marae.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ko Gill Potaka-Osborne au.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My professional career and interest in Kaupapa M&#257;ori were born out of my involvement as both a kaimahi and wh&#257;nau member of Te Hunga Kawitiwiti Kohanga Reo (language nest) in the early 80s.

In 2005, I began employment with Whakauae Research Services in an administrative capacity. My current role is community researcher and evaluator which has given me the opportunity to engage, build capability and seek solutions with local communities.

The first of my forebears arrived in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, as New Zealand Company assisted immigrants, in 1840 and 1841. They were farm labourers from Wiltshire and Somerset in the south of England. During the 1850s some moved north to Whanganui and to the Rangit&#299;kei. My great-great-grandmother, Hannah Whale was born in Parew&#257;nui in 1857. Most recently my paternal grandfather arrived in Whanganui, from the tiny fishing village of Dra&scaron;nice in southern Croatia, around 1926.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Over the past four decades I have had the opportunity to take part in, and learn from, a wide range of Treaty inspired decolonisation and social justice initiatives. My paid work experience has mostly been in the fields of community work, adult learning and public health (health promotion). My formal study has focused on sociology, qualitative research, social work and social services practice supervision. I hold MA (Honours) and MSW (Applied) degrees along with a Postgraduate Diploma in Social Services Supervision (Distinction).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Since joining the Whakauae team in 2008, I have had the great privilege of taking part in many of the research activities that our Ng&#257;ti Hauiti-owned organisation is involved with. Whakauae aspires to contribute to social transformation that benefits M&#257;ori, using excellent research as the vehicle. My colleagues, and those we work alongside in the local community and beyond, provide daily inspiration for finding ways forward that can make a positive difference for M&#257;ori.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"mailto:lynley@whakauae.co.nz?subject=Website%20Enquiry\">Email Lynley</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Phone: 028 255 62856</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"Mel Potaka-Osborne - PA to the Whakauae Team\" src=\"/uploads/images/Mel-Potaka-Osborne-2022.png\" style=\"height:320px; margin-bottom:15px; width:320px\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Mel Potaka-Osborne</h2>\r\n\r\n<h3>Senior Research Assistant</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>E rere kau mai te awa nui</p>\r\n\r\n<p>mai I te K&#257;hui Maunga ki Tangaroa</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ko au te Awa, ko te Awa ko au</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&lsquo;Ruapehu te maunga</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Whanganui te awa</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ko &#256;tihaunui-&#257;-P&#257;p&#257;rangi te iwi</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ko Ng&#257;ti Tuera, Ng&#257;ti Hinearo, Ng&#257;ti Pamoana, Ng&#257;ti Pareraukawa aku hap&#363;&rsquo;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ko wai au?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ko Mel Potaka-Osborne ahau</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I joined Whakauae Research in 2011, after working ten years with a local Whanganui Iwi Health Provider in both front line and team leader roles.

During the 1850s some moved north to Whanganui and to the Rangit&#299;kei. My great-great-grandmother, Hannah Whale was born in Parew&#257;nui in 1857. Most recently my paternal grandfather arrived in Whanganui, from the tiny fishing village of Dra&scaron;nice in southern Croatia, around 1926.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Over the past four decades I have had the opportunity to take part in, and learn from, a wide range of Treaty inspired decolonisation and social justice initiatives. My paid work experience has mostly been in the fields of community work, adult learning and public health (health promotion). My formal study has focused on sociology, qualitative research, social work and social services practice supervision. I hold MA (Honours) and MSW (Applied) degrees along with a Postgraduate Diploma in Social Services Supervision (Distinction).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Since joining the Whakauae team in 2008, I have had the great privilege of taking part in many of the research activities that our Ng&#257;ti Hauiti-owned organisation is involved with.

Our scholarships have been awarded to students at Undergraduate, Masters, Doctoral and Post-Doctoral levels and are tailored to the needs of the student as well as contributing to Whakauae&rsquo;s vision of transforming M&#257;ori lives through excellent research. Bespoke in nature, in offering these scholarships we seek to cater to the holistic wellbeing needs of each recipient.&nbsp; However, despite our intentions, we may not have always got things right and with this in mind, and having secured further IROC (Independent Research Organisation) funding from the Health Research Council of New Zealand, we undertook a piece of reflective work, looking back on past experiences in order to progress further forward.&nbsp; We not only want to be more strategic and aspirational in developing a long-term vision for how to support capacity and capability building for M&#257;ori research, but ensure that each individual student who spends time at Whakauae leaves with greater insight into the role of research can play in&nbsp; supporting our communities to flourish.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The project seeks to identify specific facilitators and barriers, regarding access, types and delivery of M&#257;ori student supports, for M&#257;ori health and wellbeing research outside the academy.&nbsp; Recommendations for the on-going nurturing of M&#257;ori students will also be identified.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The first-hand accounts of M&#257;ori student experiences will be utilised to inform, strengthen, and improve the provision and delivery of the Whakauae M&#257;ori research capacity and capability building support that is currently on offer.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Progress:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>2022 saw the establishment phase of the project, with the shaping of research tools and the application for ethics approval both to the New Zealand Ethics Committee - Te Roopu Rapu i te Tika, and Ng&#257;ti Hauiti. The aim of the research project around M&#257;ori student capacity and capability building also involved the intentional participation of a M&#257;ori student, therefore in mid-2022 Ema Tu&rsquo;akoi &nbsp;(Ng&#257;ti Whakaue, Ng&#257;ti T&#363;wharetoa; Ma&rsquo;ufanga, Holonga Tongatapu) joined the research team as a winter student to work on a literature review of the topic of Capacity and Capability Building of the M&#257;ori Research Workforce. The review, completed in November 2022, highlighted that while there is a noticeable gap in current research that is specifically focused on building the capacity and capability of the M&#257;ori research workforce in Aotearoa, there are some emerging high-level themes around ongoing racism, barriers and enablers within and academic context and a research context. These themes have been considered alongside the primary data that has emerged from interviews with past recipients of Whakauae support, ranging from scholarships to internships, to ascertain&nbsp; what is needed to support potential M&#257;ori research candidates from the ground up. With the first round of analysis complete, the research team are now busy writing up the results for submission to an international journal, as well as the creation of another more general engagement on the topics within a media platform. Furthermore, the literature review is being edited for publication in Te P&#363;take Whakauae Raro -&nbsp; Whakauae&rsquo;s occasional paper series, so keep an eye on the <a href=\"https://www.whakauae.co.nz/publications/occasional-papers/15/\">publication page here</a> in the coming months.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12px\">March 2023</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Kia pu&#257;wai ake ng&#257; uri whakatupu: flourishing future generations</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Programme Lead:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr Amohia Boulton</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Project Leads:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr Tanya Allport, Dr Heather Gifford, Prof Denise Wilson</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Whakauae Researchers:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Utiku Potaka, Gill Potaka-Osborne, Lynley Cvitanovic, Kiri Parata, Stacey Ruru, Tom Johnson, Mel Potaka-Osborne</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Independent Researchers:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Assoc Prof Bridgette Masters-Awatere, Dr John McMenamin, Dr Pat Neuwelt, Prof Stephen Reay, Cassie Khoo, Lucia Gribble, Paora Crawford Moyle</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Start/Finish Dates:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>November 2021 &ndash; October 2026</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Description:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Kia Pu&#257;wai is a programme of research that is dedicated to generating M&#257;ori knowledge to find new solutions to improve the health and wellbeing of all wh&#257;nau M&#257;ori.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We believe that health equity is essential for the wider social and economic advancement of all of Aotearoa New Zealand.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As M&#257;ori health researchers we already have a wealth of evidence that shows us some of the ways in which M&#257;ori have been underserved in our systems, leading to inequitable statistics across many areas of M&#257;ori wellbeing.

Each of the four projects within the programme has established with its full complement of research team members on board. Two expert advisory groups have been established, a Tikanga Advisory Group and a Translation, Uptake and Impact Advisory (TUI) Group. Each project has a Team Lead who is responsible for the overall running of their project. Individual project teams have developed their own research plans and project work is progressing satisfactorily. Students are being used to undertake discrete pieces of work and, where possible, additional funding through scholarships or internships is being sought for these students. Project 4, the Translation Uptake and Impact (TUI) project, has supported each research team to develop transformative and impactful research plans which teams are already beginning to execute.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Our Programme Manager, Kiri Parata, is responsible for keeping an overview of progress on the programme as a whole and she provides a key role ensuring communication between the projects.

Funded by Ministry of Health through the <strong>Te Ao Auahatanga Hauora M&#257;ori: M&#257;ori Health Innovation Fund</strong>, its aims are to include a specific m&#257;tauranga M&#257;ori approach and co-design methodology intended to actively engage rangatahi (16-24 years). The intent is to connect participating rangatahi to Te Awa o Whanganui and to Te Taiao, alongside addressing the range of issues that they face along the way. In addition, they utilise a Wh&#257;nau Ora Outcomes approach, to work alongside rangatahi to set goals, connect them to Te Ao M&#257;ori and become work ready. A developmental evaluation was conducted inclusive of formative, process, and outcome components. The evaluation, which was completed at the end of 2021, explored if, and how, the initiative contributed to enhancing the health and wellbeing of rangatahi and their wh&#257;nau.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Outcomes / Achievements:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Building on the gains made in 2020, a third kait&#363;ruki was recruited to Te K&#257;kano to provide leadership skills and organisational knowledge. &nbsp;&nbsp;Furthermore, the programme relocated to Te Ao Hou Marae, consolidating M&#257;tauranga M&#257;ori and the Te Ao M&#257;ori programme content. Mau r&#257;kau was added to the programme complementing the rangatahi participants learnings around tikanga and whakapapa. In conjunction with Healthy Families Whanganui Rangit&#299;kei Ruapehu, a Maramataka Reflection Journal was developed for rangatahi to utilise for self-reflection. In the latter half of 2021, one of the kait&#363;ruki was seconded to another service and replaced by a Te K&#257;kano participant. A teacher of mau r&#257;kau and proficient in Te Ao M&#257;ori he was a valuable addition to the team.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Two cohorts of young men 16-24 years completed the programme in 2021 and in addition, Te K&#257;kano teamed with the YMCA Pakohe Alternative Education, a programme that supports 13 &ndash; 15-year-olds to re-engage in their education, to deliver the Te Ao M&#257;ori content. Utilising a Tu&#257;kana T&#275;ina mentoring model where older students mentor younger students, Te K&#257;kano rangatahi participants worked closely with Pakohe rangatahi. Te K?kano was impacted by Covid-19 restrictions which meant the internet and cell phone were the key means of communicating with and engaging the rangatahi participants. Care packages were delivered to the rangatahi and their wh&#257;nau to provide support through the lockdown.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Becoming work ready and gaining employment was a priority for the rangatahi. Te K&#257;kano supported them with CV preparation, First Aid training, attaining a forklift licence and heights training. Positive outcomes included:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>79% of rangatahi gained employment</li>\r\n	<li>94 % of rangatahi learnt their pepeha; 81% felt confident to recite their pepeha</li>\r\n	<li>100% of rangatahi participated in ruruku, haka and waiata</li>\r\n	<li>100% of rangatahi visited marae participating in tikanga marae. Fifteen marae benefitted from these visits.</li>\r\n	<li>100% of rangatahi participated in activities that would provide them with a connection to te taiao</li>\r\n	<li>100% of rangatahi have undertaken an orientation of Te Oranganui&rsquo;s services so they can more readily access what they need for their health and wellbeing</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Evaluation</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>In 2021, the final year for evaluation activities, Te Oranganui Trust kait&#363;ruki and the Whakauae evaluator brainstormed ways to collect evaluation data, when Covid-19 restrictions limited face to face contact. Under the guidance of the evaluator, kait&#363;ruki successfully led two data collection activities. Two evaluation reports, a process and impact report were submitted to the Ministry of Health, in October and December 2021 respectively, and subsequently accepted.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"/uploads/images/TK-Heights.jpg\" style=\"height:728px; width:650px\" /><br />\r\n<em><span style=\"font-size:12px\">Heights Training at Cooks Gardens Whanganui (Cohort Three)</span></em></p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12px\">February 2022</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n<h2>&nbsp;</h2>\r\n\r\n<h2>&#39;Tapestry of Truth&#39; Rangatahi Wellbeing Project Evaluation</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Start / Finish Dates:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>08 May 2020 &ndash; 10 December 2021</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Leads:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Gill Potaka Osborne</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Whakauae Researcher:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Lynley Cvitanovic</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Brief Description</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>The Tapestry of Truth Rangatahi Programme was developed and delivered by Whanganui-based M&#257;ori health and social services provider, Te Oranganui Trust. Oranga Tamariki and Te Hiringa Hauora provided funding to support implementation of the programme. The aim of the programme was to provide young males aged 12- 15 years with specialised support and mentoring to address the issues in their lives and improve their health and wellbeing. Using a wh&#257;nau-centred approach, the programme provided a safe, positive atmosphere for rangatahi to learn and develop pathways that will allow them to confidently lead healthy lives and eventually become self-managing and empowering leaders.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In 2020, Te Hiringa Hauora commissioned an evaluation to be undertaken by Whakauae Research Services. The evaluation explored the impact of the &lsquo;Tapestry of Truth&rsquo; model on rangatahi M&#257;ori wellbeing, building M&#257;ori health service provider evaluation capacity and supporting Te Oranganui to engage with other stakeholders on the merits of their approach.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Outcomes / Achievements</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Both the implementation of the Tapestry of Truth programme and the evaluation were impacted by Covid-19 restrictions. As with the previous year the Tapestry of Truth kai&#257;rahi utilised technology to maintain contact. Care packages were delivered to the rangatahi and their wh?nau to provide support through the lockdown.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tapestry of Truth provided rangatahi with a wide range of experiences which has encouraged them to take a wider gaze of the world and become more self-determining and resilient. These experiences included fun activities such as go-kart racing and laser tag; cultural activities such as marae visits and preparing a h&#257;ng&#299; and environmental activities such as diving, fishing, and surfing. A member of the Police Youth Aid Team, a qualified builder, dedicated one day a week to teach the Tapestry of Truth rangatahi basic carpentry and building skills. Consequently, the rangatahi built garden furniture which they sold to family, friends and to Te Oranganui staff to raise money to fund their next lot of carpentry projects. This activity helped rangatahi see the role of police in a different light. Additionally, participation in Muay Thai Martial Arts was both popular and successful for the rangatahi as they learnt about health and wellbeing, self- discipline, and teamwork. Many of the rangatahi were supported to compete in local competitions.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Programme planning and content was co-designed with the rangatahi. An essential part of this process was the kait&#363;ruki who bought with them a passion for youth development, knowledge of the community and of wh&#257;nau, hap&#363; and iwi. They came with diverse life experiences that, coupled with youth development skills, social work expertise, an interest in behaviour change and a desire to make a difference contributed to them being able to have hard conversations with rangatahi without judgment. Many topics were discussed during the programme including the effects of alcohol and other drugs individually, on wh&#257;nau and on the community. Learnings were consolidated when rangatahi were asked research a topic and debate the pros and cons. This was followed up with creation of a poster displaying what they had learnt. In mid-2021, building on the success of the male cohort, Te Oranganui Trust initiated the development and implementation of a pilot programme for young girls.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Evaluation</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>The evaluation was completed utilising a collaborative approach whereby kaiarahi led interactive data collection sessions and undertook some of the key informant interviews. Whakauae supported this with a small survey and some face-to-face interviews with wh&#257;nau and external stakeholders.&nbsp; The analysis of the data was completed by the evaluator which was then sent to the Tapestry of Truth team to review for accuracy. The evaluation showed that the Tapestry of Truth programme was highly regarded by rangatahi, parents and caregivers and the Whanganui community and there were many positive outcomes for rangatahi and their wh&#257;nau. A final report was submitted to Te Hiringa Hauora at the end of 2021 and accepted.&nbsp; A booklet of summary findings will be released in early 2022.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"/uploads/images/Tapestry-carpentry.jpg\" style=\"height:488px; width:650px\" /><br />\r\n<em><span style=\"font-size:12px\"><span style=\"color:black\">Some of the carpentry projects built by Tapestry of Truth rangatahi participants</span></span></em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12px\"><span style=\"color:black\">February 2022</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n<h2>&nbsp;</h2>\r\n\r\n<h2>Chatham Islands Wellbeing Study</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Lead researcher:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr Amohia Boulton</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Other Whakauae researchers:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Lynley Cvitanovic</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Utiku Potaka</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr Tanya Allport</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tom Johnson</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Independent research team members:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Teresa Taylor</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Description:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>In 2019 Whakauae were approached by Te Puni K&#333;kiri regarding the possibility of undertaking some research into the wellbeing needs of residents of the Chatham Islands. The aim of the study was to explore the self-identified wellbeing needs of the Islands&rsquo; population. It was expected that study findings would be used to advocate for more sustainable and longer-term targeted funding which better addresses wh&#257;nau/hunau needs.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The objectives of this kaupapa M&#257;ori project are to:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Describe wh&#257;nau assessments of current wh&#257;nau wellbeing;</li>\r\n	<li>Document the self-identified and unaddressed wellbeing needs of wh&#257;nau;</li>\r\n	<li>Identify the needs that can potentially be supported by agencies and services outside of the wh&#257;nau;</li>\r\n	<li>Identify challenges associated with adequately supporting unaddressed wellbeing needs; and,</li>\r\n	<li>Draw on study findings and a shared analysis to propose recommendations for service solutions with the greatest potential to enhance wh&#257;nau wellbeing.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Progress:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Whakauae were first approached to conduct the research in late 2019, and contracted with local provider, Ha O Te Ora Wharekauri Trust Community Services, to commence the work in early 2020. However, just prior to the team&rsquo;s first scheduled visit to the island in March 2020, the entire country was put into lockdown due to Covid-19 reaching Aotearoa. The uncertainties associated with Covid-19 severely delayed the start of the project &ndash; indeed the team&rsquo;s first physical visit to the island did not occur until early April 2021. At that time the team undertook whakawhanaungatanga and a first round of face-to-face individual and group interviews. A second visit to the Island occurred in June 2021 when the research team continued interviews and held a series of w&#257;nanga with community members and representatives from key organisations.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Recently with the spread of Covid-19 throughout the community, and the subsequent risks associated with the more contagious Delta variant, the team&rsquo;s ability to travel to the island has been impacted. Thus the third in a series of planned face-to-face visit to the Island has been postponed until 2022. The third visit is intended to be part of &ldquo;sense-making&rdquo; for the project findings, to present the analysis undertaken by the research team in late November 2021. The team at Whakauae are now looking forward to a more settled period in early 2022, so that we can return to the island and engage in the sense-making phase. At this time we will seek feedback from the community and project participants on key findings and recommendations, and explore the possible ways to ensure the uptake of these findings within specific systems/sectors responsible for the wellbeing of wh&#257;nau/hunau on the Chatham Islands.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Whakauae Chatham Islands Wellbeing Study \" src=\"/uploads/images/Chatham-Islands-Wellbeing-Study.jpg\" style=\"height:488px; width:650px\" /><br />\r\n<em><span style=\"font-size:12px\">Moriori hunau (wh&#257;nau) welcome members of the WRS team at K&#333;pinga Marae in April 2021.</span></em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12px\">December 2021</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Te Ao Rauropi:</h2>\r\n\r\n<h2>Mapping the Biosphere of Rongo&#257; M&#257;ori</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Lead researcher:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr Amohia Bouton</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Other Whakauae researchers:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Gill Potaka-Osborne</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr Tanya Allport</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Independent research team members:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Donna Kerridge (Rongo&#257; practitioner)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr Glenis Mark</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Description:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>This research project, exploring the deeper meaning of Rongo&#257; M&#257;ori (traditional M&#257;ori healing), is a three-year HRC funded study hosted by Whakauae Research.&nbsp;&nbsp; Building on previous work undertaken by members of the research team, the research will identify and articulate the contribution that Rongo&#257; makes to the health and wellbeing of the Aotearoa New Zealand population and to our environments, seek to reinstate wider understanding of the nature of Rongo&#257; and restore a M&#257;ori philosophy of wellbeing to our communities</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The project will collect data from both Rongo&#257; practitioners and their patients.

New Zealand&rsquo;s COVID-19 response has centralised &lsquo;home&rsquo; as the &lsquo;safest place to be&rsquo;, specifically during level 3 and 4 lock-down measures. Home is seen as a place of wellbeing, which contrasts to &lsquo;away from home&rsquo; places as potential sites of infection and subsequent personal and public health impacts. However, the essence of what forms a place of wellbeing for Maori is not generally included or acknowledged in government discourses around &lsquo;home&rsquo;, and is therefore inadequately represented within polices, resourcing and services.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The findings from the <em>Papak&#257;inga</em> project contribute to understanding the meanings of &lsquo;home&rsquo; for three different generations of M&#257;ori living in different geographical locations, and how these meanings shape the perception of &lsquo;being well at home&rsquo;.&nbsp; The place and function of cultural elements that relate to &lsquo;home&rsquo;, such as &lsquo;t&#363;rangawaewae&rsquo;, &lsquo;papak&#257;inga&rsquo; and &lsquo;ahi k&#257;&rsquo; were highlighted in relationship to identity, whakapapa, and hauora within the participants&rsquo; perceptions of &lsquo;home&rsquo;.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>By investigating the views, attitudes, and perceptions of M&#257;ori community members in two distinct locations, the research has been able to identify that &lsquo;home&rsquo; is more than a spatial notion, and that there are a range of holistically connected aspects that need to be considered if we are to deliver effective and sustainable solutions around M&#257;ori being &lsquo;at home&rsquo;.&nbsp; As M&#257;ori meanings of &lsquo;home&rsquo; are adapting, developing, and changing, especially in the current COVID-19 context, the findings from this research contribute to the significant thinking that needs to influence future policy direction and highlight areas that require further investigation.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The first of a planned series of peer-reviewed journal papers was published in 2020 (Boulton, A., Nee, J.,&nbsp;Allport, T.&nbsp;(2020) Hauk&#257;inga - A Review of M&#257;ori concepts of &#39;home&#39;.

Three high level themes were identified from the results of the 2020 Awa FM Listener Survey, namely that:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>the <strong>content</strong> played on Awa FM should be relevant for all ages and reflect Whanganui, including local news, waiata, stories, history, tikanga and Te Reo;</li>\r\n	<li><strong>announcers</strong> were a critical component of Awa FM and more wahine M&#257;ori should be encouraged; and</li>\r\n	<li>improving <strong>transmission</strong>, and the modes of transmission (including greater use of multimedia platforms and social media) was critical for broad reach.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p>Prior to Pakaitore Day 2021, and following an invitation to Whakauae&rsquo;s offices, Awa FM staff were presented with an infographic flyer outlining high level results. Flyers were to be distributed to wh&#257;nau who attended the Marae Waka Ama challenge and the 2021 Pakaitore celebrations however, these celebrations were deferred due to concerns regarding Covid-19. Flyers are available from Awa FM offices, and will be distributed by Awa FM at other community hui.

Most recently my paternal grandfather arrived in Whanganui, from the tiny fishing village of Dra&scaron;nice in southern Croatia, around 1926.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Over the past four decades I have had the opportunity to take part in, and learn from, a wide range of Treaty inspired decolonisation and social justice initiatives. My paid work experience has mostly been in the fields of community work, adult learning and public health (health promotion). My formal study has focused on sociology, qualitative research, social work and social services practice supervision. I hold MA (Honours) and MSW (Applied) degrees along with a Postgraduate Diploma in Social Services Supervision (Distinction).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Since joining the Whakauae team in 2008, I have had the great privilege of taking part in many of the research activities that our Ng&#257;ti Hauiti-owned organisation is involved with. Whakauae aspires to contribute to social transformation that benefits M&#257;ori, using excellent research as the vehicle. My colleagues, and those we work alongside in the local community and beyond, provide daily inspiration for finding ways forward that can make a positive difference for M&#257;ori.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"mailto:lynley@whakauae.co.nz?subject=Website%20Enquiry\">Email Lynley</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Phone: 028 255 62856</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"Sonja Loveridge - Whakauae Business Manager\" src=\"/uploads/images/Sonja-Loveridge-2022.png\" style=\"height:320px; margin-bottom:15px; width:320px\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Sonja Loveridge</h2>\r\n\r\n<h3>Business Manager</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was born and raised in the Waverley area and am fifth generation P&#257;keh&#257; on my Dad&rsquo;s side; of English, Scottish and Irish descent and third generation P&#257;keh&#257; on my Mum&rsquo;s side. My father&rsquo;s ancestors began arriving into Taranaki from 1841, they settled in Kaitoke, in the remote Rangit&#299;kei hills at Pohonui, and in the Whanganui area from the late 1850&rsquo;s. My maternal grandparents immigrated to Aotearoa New Zealand from Dra&scaron;nice and Podgora on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia in the early 1900&rsquo;s.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I have trained as a chartered accountant and have an employment background in finance and management. I have worked in a variety of businesses and in the public sector primarily in health and science. I am a member of the Chartered Accountants Institute of Australia New Zealand and have been a Board member for Hospice Whanganui.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I appreciate order (although you might not think so if you saw my desk), a good strategic plan and the opportunity to make a difference. I joined the Whakauae team in 2015 and I have appreciated the opportunity to working in a kaupapa M&#257;ori organisation with academics and iwi members. This challenges me to think differently, provides experiences that I would not otherwise have and allows me to support the work of others to make a difference.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"mailto:sonja@whakauae.co.nz?subject=Website%20Enquiry\">Email Sonja</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Phone:&nbsp; 028 255 05015</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mobile: 027 220 5717</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"Mel Potaka-Osborne - PA to the Whakauae Team\" src=\"/uploads/images/Mel-Potaka-Osborne-2022.png\" style=\"height:320px; margin-bottom:15px; width:320px\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Mel Potaka-Osborne</h2>\r\n\r\n<h3>PA to the Team</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>E rere kau mai te awa nui</p>\r\n\r\n<p>mai I te K&#257;hui Maunga ki Tangaroa</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ko au te Awa, ko te Awa ko au</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&lsquo;Ruapehu te maunga</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Whanganui te awa</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ko &#256;tihaunui-&#257;-P&#257;p&#257;rangi te iwi</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ko Ng&#257;ti Tuera, Ng&#257;ti Hinearo, Ng&#257;ti Pamoana, Ng&#257;ti Pareraukawa aku hap&#363;&rsquo;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ko wai au?</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ko Mel Potaka-Osborne ahau</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I joined Whakauae Research in 2011, after working ten years with a local Whanganui Iwi Health Provider in both front line and team leader roles.

While studying I worked at the University of Auckland, Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, in M&#257;ori and Pacific health. Following my PhD I undertook several years of working for claimants to the Waitangi Tribunal, specialising in M&#257;ori land research.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>More recently, I worked as the director of Wai Research, an urban M&#257;ori research centre with Te Wh&#257;nau O Waipareira, a West Auckland M&#257;ori health and social service provider. As part of that role, I led a staff of researchers, evaluators, and social impact specialists, and project managed local and national research programmes focusing on wh&#257;nau M&#257;ori wellbeing and policy impacts.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I am Te &#256;ti Awa ki Te Whanganui-a-Tara from my father&rsquo;s side and German from my mother&rsquo;s side, and although I was born in Tauranga I spent my formative years in Northern Germany, returning to Aotearoa in my early teens. I now live with my wh&#257;nau in the Waitakere Ranges in Auckland.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I feel honoured and fortunate to be a senior researcher at Whakauae, as it allows me to be part of a dedicated and inspiring team that works to fulfil the aspirations of Ng&#257;ti Hauiti for all wh&#257;nau M&#257;ori to have health, wealth and self-determination in line with their own values.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"mailto:tanya@whakauae.co.nz?subject=Enquiry%20from%20website\">Email Tanya</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"Gillian Potaka-Osborne - Whakauae Researcher and Evaluator\" src=\"/uploads/images/Gillian-Potaka-Osborne-2022.png\" style=\"height:320px; margin-bottom:15px; width:320px\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Gillian Potaka-Osborne</h2>\r\n\r\n<h3>Researcher and Evaluator</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ko Aotea te waka</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ko Ruapehu te maunga</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ko Whanganui te awa<br />\r\nKo &#256;tihaunui-&#257;-P&#257;p&#257;rangi te iwi<br />\r\nKo Ng&#257;ti Tuera, Ng&#257;ti Pamoana, Ng&#257;ti Pareraukawa ng&#257; hap&#363;.<br />\r\nKo Pungarehu, ko Parikino, ko Koroniti, Ko Ng&#257;tokowaru Marae ng&#257; marae.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ko Gill Potaka-Osborne au.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>My professional career and interest in Kaupapa M&#257;ori were born out of my involvement as both a kaimahi and wh&#257;nau member of Te Hunga Kawitiwiti Kohanga Reo (language nest) in the early 80s. The next 15 years were spent in working in the public sector before I rekindled a passion for M&#257;ori development and joined Taumata Hauora Trust (M&#257;ori Development Organisation) as contracts manager. In 2005, I began employment with Whakauae Research Services in an administrative capacity. My current role is community researcher and evaluator which has given me the opportunity to engage, build capability and seek solutions with local communities.

The first of my forebears arrived in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, as New Zealand Company assisted immigrants, in 1840 and 1841. They were farm labourers from Wiltshire and Somerset in the south of England. During the 1850s some moved north to Whanganui and to the Rangit&#299;kei. My great-great-grandmother, Hannah Whale was born in Parew&#257;nui in 1857. Most recently my paternal grandfather arrived in Whanganui, from the tiny fishing village of Dra&scaron;nice in southern Croatia, around 1926.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Over the past four decades I have had the opportunity to take part in, and learn from, a wide range of Treaty inspired decolonisation and social justice initiatives. My paid work experience has mostly been in the fields of community work, adult learning and public health (health promotion). My formal study has focused on sociology, qualitative research, social work and social services practice supervision. I hold MA (Honours) and MSW (Applied) degrees along with a Postgraduate Diploma in Social Services Supervision (Distinction).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Since joining the Whakauae team in 2008, I have had the great privilege of taking part in many of the research activities that our Ng&#257;ti Hauiti-owned organisation is involved with. Whakauae aspires to contribute to social transformation that benefits M&#257;ori, using excellent research as the vehicle. My colleagues, and those we work alongside in the local community and beyond, provide daily inspiration for finding ways forward that can make a positive difference for M&#257;ori.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"mailto:lynley@whakauae.co.nz?subject=Website%20Enquiry\">Email Lynley</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Phone: 028 255 62856</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"Sonja Loveridge - Whakauae Business Manager\" src=\"/uploads/images/Sonja-Loveridge-2022.png\" style=\"height:320px; margin-bottom:15px; width:320px\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Sonja Loveridge</h2>\r\n\r\n<h3>Business Manager</h3>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I was born and raised in the Waverley area and am fifth generation P&#257;keh&#257; on my Dad&rsquo;s side; of English, Scottish and Irish descent and third generation P&#257;keh&#257; on my Mum&rsquo;s side. My father&rsquo;s ancestors began arriving into Taranaki from 1841, they settled in Kaitoke, in the remote Rangit&#299;kei hills at Pohonui, and in the Whanganui area from the late 1850&rsquo;s. My maternal grandparents immigrated to Aotearoa New Zealand from Dra&scaron;nice and Podgora on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia in the early 1900&rsquo;s.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>I have trained as a chartered accountant and have an employment background in finance and management. I have worked in a variety of businesses and in the public sector primarily in health and science.

I joined the Whakauae team in 2015 and I have appreciated the opportunity to working in a kaupapa M&#257;ori organisation with academics and iwi members.

The whakaaro for the development of <em>Te Pou Herenga</em> came from an understanding that the R&#257;t&#257; marae paepae k&#333;rero and the pari karanga is growing smaller. There is consequently a need to build Hauititanga capability, in order to pass on those types of m&#257;tauranga and k&#333;rero tuku iho to descendants.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>An archive of language devices articulated through speech, song, and chant centred at R&#257;t&#257; marae, spanning the last 50 years (since the rededication of R&#257;t&#257; marae in 1983) is captured by Te Pou Herenga. Language devices included are whakatau&#257;k&#299; (proverbs with provenance), whakatauk&#299; (proverbs), tauparapara (ritual speech), m&#333;teatea (traditional chants), waiata (songs), waiata &#257;-ringa (action songs), p&#333;whiri haka (welcome haka), karakia (incantation), whakamoemiti (prayers), and h&#299;mene (hymns). All have been composed either by various ancestors of Hauiti or by contemporary descendants in more recent times. Some of the examples included in <em>Te Pou Herenga</em> are well known throughout the nation and are not Ng&#257;ti Hauiti specific. They are, or were, however commonly heard on the R&#257;t&#257; marae &#257;tea.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Access to formal reo &#257;-Hauiti (&#333;kawa) will be improved for the many descendants of Ng&#257;ti Hauiti, and in particular for those wh&#257;nau currently on a reo or whakapapa journey, through <em>Te Pou Herenga</em>. Descendants will likely:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>gain a greater understanding of their Iwi, hap&#363;, and wh&#257;nau identity; and</li>\r\n	<li>increase their confidence in participating and/or contributing to Iwi responsibilities, such as p&#333;whiri and mihi whakatau.</li>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Progress:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>The <em>Te Pou Herenga</em> content collection phase has now concluded and material, including translations, is currently under review.

Several key events occurred during the period that both informed the development of Whakauae and importantly created the platform for the organisation&rsquo;s ongoing success.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In addition to reviewing relevant documents, we will invite people who played key roles in those early years of development to take part in interviews over the period May to August 2023. The data collected will be analysed to form the basis of a brief report to be completed by the end of 2023.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Whakauae: The Early Years 2005-2011 will become part of the Whakauae archive and will sit alongside other core organisational documents including strategic plans, annual plans, annual reports and the 10-year commemoration publication. The report will likely also be shared with other iwi and communities to support their endeavours to establish research entities outside of the academy.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This research project is premised on the whakatauki &ldquo;kia whakat&#333;muri te haere whakamua&rdquo;. We will therefore reflect on the values and vision of Ng&#257;ti Hauiti kaum&#257;tua and iwi members and their contribution to the development of Whakauae.

Our scholarships have been awarded to students at Undergraduate, Masters, Doctoral and Post-Doctoral levels and are tailored to the needs of the student as well as contributing to Whakauae&rsquo;s vision of transforming M&#257;ori lives through excellent research. Bespoke in nature, in offering these scholarships we seek to cater to the holistic wellbeing needs of each recipient.&nbsp; However, despite our intentions, we may not have always got things right and with this in mind, and having secured further IROC (Independent Research Organisation) funding from the Health Research Council of New Zealand, we undertook a piece of reflective work, looking back on past experiences in order to progress further forward.&nbsp; We not only want to be more strategic and aspirational in developing a long-term vision for how to support capacity and capability building for M&#257;ori research, but ensure that each individual student who spends time at Whakauae leaves with greater insight into the role of research can play in&nbsp; supporting our communities to flourish.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The project seeks to identify specific facilitators and barriers, regarding access, types and delivery of M&#257;ori student supports, for M&#257;ori health and wellbeing research outside the academy.&nbsp; Recommendations for the on-going nurturing of M&#257;ori students will also be identified.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The first-hand accounts of M&#257;ori student experiences will be utilised to inform, strengthen, and improve the provision and delivery of the Whakauae M&#257;ori research capacity and capability building support that is currently on offer.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Progress:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>2022 saw the establishment phase of the project, with the shaping of research tools and the application for ethics approval both to the New Zealand Ethics Committee - Te Roopu Rapu i te Tika, and Ng&#257;ti Hauiti. The aim of the research project around M&#257;ori student capacity and capability building also involved the intentional participation of a M&#257;ori student, therefore in mid-2022 Ema Tu&rsquo;akoi &nbsp;(Ng&#257;ti Whakaue, Ng&#257;ti T&#363;wharetoa; Ma&rsquo;ufanga, Holonga Tongatapu) joined the research team as a winter student to work on a literature review of the topic of Capacity and Capability Building of the M&#257;ori Research Workforce. The review, completed in November 2022, highlighted that while there is a noticeable gap in current research that is specifically focused on building the capacity and capability of the M&#257;ori research workforce in Aotearoa, there are some emerging high-level themes around ongoing racism, barriers and enablers within and academic context and a research context. These themes have been considered alongside the primary data that has emerged from interviews with past recipients of Whakauae support, ranging from scholarships to internships, to ascertain&nbsp; what is needed to support potential M&#257;ori research candidates from the ground up. With the first round of analysis complete, the research team are now busy writing up the results for submission to an international journal, as well as the creation of another more general engagement on the topics within a media platform. Furthermore, the literature review is being edited for publication in Te P&#363;take Whakauae Raro -&nbsp; Whakauae&rsquo;s occasional paper series, so keep an eye on the <a href=\"https://www.whakauae.co.nz/publications/occasional-papers/15/\">publication page here</a> in the coming months.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12px\">March 2023</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Kia pu&#257;wai ake ng&#257; uri whakatupu: flourishing future generations</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Programme Lead:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr Amohia Boulton</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Project Leads:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr Tanya Allport, Dr Heather Gifford, Prof Denise Wilson</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Whakauae Researchers:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Utiku Potaka, Gill Potaka-Osborne, Lynley Cvitanovic, Kiri Parata, Stacey Ruru, Tom Johnson, Mel Potaka-Osborne</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Independent Researchers:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Assoc Prof Bridgette Masters-Awatere, Dr John McMenamin, Dr Pat Neuwelt, Prof Stephen Reay, Cassie Khoo, Lucia Gribble, Paora Crawford Moyle</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Start/Finish Dates:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>November 2021 &ndash; October 2026</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Description:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Kia Pu&#257;wai is a programme of research that is dedicated to generating M&#257;ori knowledge to find new solutions to improve the health and wellbeing of all wh&#257;nau M&#257;ori.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>We believe that health equity is essential for the wider social and economic advancement of all of Aotearoa New Zealand.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>As M&#257;ori health researchers we already have a wealth of evidence that shows us some of the ways in which M&#257;ori have been underserved in our systems, leading to inequitable statistics across many areas of M&#257;ori wellbeing.

Each of the four projects within the programme has established with its full complement of research team members on board. Two expert advisory groups have been established, a Tikanga Advisory Group and a Translation, Uptake and Impact Advisory (TUI) Group. Each project has a Team Lead who is responsible for the overall running of their project. Individual project teams have developed their own research plans and project work is progressing satisfactorily. Students are being used to undertake discrete pieces of work and, where possible, additional funding through scholarships or internships is being sought for these students. Project 4, the Translation Uptake and Impact (TUI) project, has supported each research team to develop transformative and impactful research plans which teams are already beginning to execute.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Our Programme Manager, Kiri Parata, is responsible for keeping an overview of progress on the programme as a whole and she provides a key role ensuring communication between the projects. Kiri also convenes our regular Programme Leadership meetings (quarterly, or as required); Advisory Group Meeting (six-monthly) and full Programme Team meetings (yearly).</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The four discrete research and translation projects within the programme are:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Rapua te ara Rangatira kia hikitia ai te oranga tangata &ndash; leadership, governance and decision-making models to achieve health equity</li>\r\n	<li>T&#333; m&#257;tou k&#257;inga, t&#333; m&#257;tou &#363;kaip&#333; &ndash; wh&#257;nau conceptions of home: supporting flourishing home environments</li>\r\n	<li>He Waka Eke Noa &ndash; co-creating primary care that works for wh&#257;nau M&#257;ori</li>\r\n	<li>Translation, Uptake and Impact (TUI)- knowledge translation for Impact Pathways to facilitate key systems change</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A large amount of creative works have been developed throughout year 1 by the TUI team for each research project.

This webinar, held as part of the ongoing 7-Directions Indigenous Public Health Institute&rsquo;s &ldquo;Gathering Grounds&rdquo; series, looked at the experiences and responses of Indigenous communities in Aotearoa and the US to the worldwide outbreak.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr. Heather Gifford (Ng&#257;ti Hauiti and Te &#256;tihaunui &#257; P&#257;p&#257;rangi) and Amohia Boulton (Ng&#257;ti Ranginui, Ng&#257;i te Rangi, Ng&#257;ti Pukenga, Ng&#257;ti Mutunga and Te &#257;ti Awa o te Waka a M&#257;ui) from Whakauae Research Services Ltd, and Raquel Aviles, MHI (Yaqui) from the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, discussed experiences of centring community and applying Indigenous health principles in response to the pandemic.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The webinar highlighted the need to define and empower Indigenous public health practices, and tackled questions around the interface of Indigenous/M&#257;tauranga M&#257;ori knowledge and mainstream public health concepts in relation to the lockdowns and vaccination roll-outs in Aotearoa and the US.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Heather Gifford and Amohia Boulton examined both the lack of inclusion of M&#257;ori expert knowledge and leadership in the New Zealand Government&rsquo;s Covid-19 response, and the way in which public health messaging failed to take account of existing inequities and M&#257;ori needs. Raquel Aviles presentation on the Pascua Yaqui of Arizona raised comparable issues and looked at how Indigenous leadership was able to come together to offer pro-active community support during their lockdowns, and appropriate public health messaging around Covid-19 vaccinations. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The webinar further highlighted how, by applying Indigenous/M&#257;tauranga M&#257;ori public health knowledge and collaborations across Iwi/tribes and regional boundaries, the needs of wh&#257;nau, hap&#363;, Iwi and Indigenous communities can be prioritised, especially during times when the core challenge is in how Indigenous leaders can continue to practice from within their cultural values and principles while keeping communities safe during a public health emergency. &nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The webinar presenters all reiterated that Indigenous public health practice is an understanding of belonging and connectedness, and that Indigenous voices are crucial for re-framing public health approaches to deal with the ongoing impacts of Covid-19 for all communities.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://vimeo.com/656275568\" target=\"_blank\">You can access a free recording of the webinar here.</a></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12px\">May 2022</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Te Ao Rauropi:</h2>\r\n\r\n<h2>Mapping the Biosphere of Rongo&#257; M&#257;ori</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"Te Ao Rauropi: Mapping the Biosphere of Rongo&#257; M&#257;ori\" src=\"/uploads/images/Tu-Mai-Rongoa-Mao-ri-Rongoa-Symposium-(3).jpg\" style=\"height:366px; width:650px\" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Lead researcher:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr Amohia Bouton</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Other Whakauae researchers:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Gill Potaka-Osborne</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr Tanya Allport</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Independent research team members:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Donna Kerridge (Rongo&#257; practitioner)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr Glenis Mark</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Description:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>This research project, exploring the deeper meaning of Rongo&#257; Maori (traditional M&#257;ori healing), is a three-year HRC funded study hosted by Whakauae Research.&nbsp;&nbsp; Building on previous work undertaken by members of the research team, the research will identify and articulate the contribution that Rongo&#257; makes to the health and wellbeing of the Aotearoa New Zealand population and to our environments, seek to reinstate wider understanding of the nature of Rongo&#257; and restore a M&#257;ori philosophy of wellbeing to our communities</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The project will collect data from both Rongo&#257; practitioners and their patients.

Funded by Ministry of Health through the <strong>Te Ao Auahatanga Hauora M&#257;ori: M&#257;ori Health Innovation Fund</strong>, its aims are to include a specific m&#257;tauranga M&#257;ori approach and co-design methodology intended to actively engage rangatahi (16-24 years). The intent is to connect participating rangatahi to Te Awa o Whanganui and to Te Taiao, alongside addressing the range of issues that they face along the way. In addition, they utilise a Wh&#257;nau Ora Outcomes approach, to work alongside rangatahi to set goals, connect them to Te Ao M&#257;ori and become work ready. A developmental evaluation was conducted inclusive of formative, process, and outcome components. The evaluation, which was completed at the end of 2021, explored if, and how, the initiative contributed to enhancing the health and wellbeing of rangatahi and their wh&#257;nau.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Outcomes / Achievements:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Building on the gains made in 2020, a third kait&#363;ruki was recruited to Te K&#257;kano to provide leadership skills and organisational knowledge. &nbsp;&nbsp;Furthermore, the programme relocated to Te Ao Hou Marae, consolidating M&#257;tauranga M&#257;ori and the Te Ao M&#257;ori programme content. Mau r&#257;kau was added to the programme complementing the rangatahi participants learnings around tikanga and whakapapa. In conjunction with Healthy Families Whanganui Rangit&#299;kei Ruapehu, a Maramataka Reflection Journal was developed for rangatahi to utilise for self-reflection. In the latter half of 2021, one of the kait&#363;ruki was seconded to another service and replaced by a Te K&#257;kano participant. A teacher of mau r&#257;kau and proficient in Te Ao M&#257;ori he was a valuable addition to the team.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Two cohorts of young men 16-24 years completed the programme in 2021 and in addition, Te K&#257;kano teamed with the YMCA Pakohe Alternative Education, a programme that supports 13 &ndash; 15-year-olds to re-engage in their education, to deliver the Te Ao M&#257;ori content. Utilising a Tu&#257;kana T&#275;ina mentoring model where older students mentor younger students, Te K&#257;kano rangatahi participants worked closely with Pakohe rangatahi. Te K?kano was impacted by Covid-19 restrictions which meant the internet and cell phone were the key means of communicating with and engaging the rangatahi participants. Care packages were delivered to the rangatahi and their wh&#257;nau to provide support through the lockdown.&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Becoming work ready and gaining employment was a priority for the rangatahi. Te K&#257;kano supported them with CV preparation, First Aid training, attaining a forklift licence and heights training. Positive outcomes included:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>79% of rangatahi gained employment</li>\r\n	<li>94 % of rangatahi learnt their pepeha; 81% felt confident to recite their pepeha</li>\r\n	<li>100% of rangatahi participated in ruruku, haka and waiata</li>\r\n	<li>100% of rangatahi visited marae participating in tikanga marae. Fifteen marae benefitted from these visits.</li>\r\n	<li>100% of rangatahi participated in activities that would provide them with a connection to te taiao</li>\r\n	<li>100% of rangatahi have undertaken an orientation of Te Oranganui&rsquo;s services so they can more readily access what they need for their health and wellbeing</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Evaluation</strong></p>\r\n\r\n<p>In 2021, the final year for evaluation activities, Te Oranganui Trust kait&#363;ruki and the Whakauae evaluator brainstormed ways to collect evaluation data, when Covid-19 restrictions limited face to face contact. Under the guidance of the evaluator, kait&#363;ruki successfully led two data collection activities. Two evaluation reports, a process and impact report were submitted to the Ministry of Health, in October and December 2021 respectively, and subsequently accepted.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"/uploads/images/TK-Heights.jpg\" style=\"height:728px; width:650px\" /><br />\r\n<em><span style=\"font-size:12px\">Heights Training at Cooks Gardens Whanganui (Cohort Three)</span></em></p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12px\">February 2022</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n<h2>&nbsp;</h2>\r\n\r\n<h2>&#39;Tapestry of Truth&#39; Rangatahi Wellbeing Project Evaluation</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Start / Finish Dates:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>08 May 2020 &ndash; 10 December 2021</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Leads:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Gill Potaka Osborne</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Whakauae Researcher:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Lynley Cvitanovic</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Brief Description</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>The Tapestry of Truth Rangatahi Programme was developed and delivered by Whanganui-based M&#257;ori health and social services provider, Te Oranganui Trust. Oranga Tamariki and Te Hiringa Hauora provided funding to support implementation of the programme. The aim of the programme was to provide young males aged 12- 15 years with specialised support and mentoring to address the issues in their lives and improve their health and wellbeing. Using a wh&#257;nau-centred approach, the programme provided a safe, positive atmosphere for rangatahi to learn and develop pathways that will allow them to confidently lead healthy lives and eventually become self-managing and empowering leaders.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In 2020, Te Hiringa Hauora commissioned an evaluation to be undertaken by Whakauae Research Services. The evaluation explored the impact of the &lsquo;Tapestry of Truth&rsquo; model on rangatahi M&#257;ori wellbeing, building M&#257;ori health service provider evaluation capacity and supporting Te Oranganui to engage with other stakeholders on the merits of their approach.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Outcomes / Achievements</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Both the implementation of the Tapestry of Truth programme and the evaluation were impacted by Covid-19 restrictions. As with the previous year the Tapestry of Truth kai&#257;rahi utilised technology to maintain contact. Care packages were delivered to the rangatahi and their wh?nau to provide support through the lockdown.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tapestry of Truth provided rangatahi with a wide range of experiences which has encouraged them to take a wider gaze of the world and become more self-determining and resilient. These experiences included fun activities such as go-kart racing and laser tag; cultural activities such as marae visits and preparing a h&#257;ng&#299; and environmental activities such as diving, fishing, and surfing. A member of the Police Youth Aid Team, a qualified builder, dedicated one day a week to teach the Tapestry of Truth rangatahi basic carpentry and building skills. Consequently, the rangatahi built garden furniture which they sold to family, friends and to Te Oranganui staff to raise money to fund their next lot of carpentry projects. This activity helped rangatahi see the role of police in a different light. Additionally, participation in Muay Thai Martial Arts was both popular and successful for the rangatahi as they learnt about health and wellbeing, self- discipline, and teamwork. Many of the rangatahi were supported to compete in local competitions.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Programme planning and content was co-designed with the rangatahi. An essential part of this process was the kait&#363;ruki who bought with them a passion for youth development, knowledge of the community and of wh&#257;nau, hap&#363; and iwi. They came with diverse life experiences that, coupled with youth development skills, social work expertise, an interest in behaviour change and a desire to make a difference contributed to them being able to have hard conversations with rangatahi without judgment. Many topics were discussed during the programme including the effects of alcohol and other drugs individually, on wh&#257;nau and on the community. Learnings were consolidated when rangatahi were asked research a topic and debate the pros and cons. This was followed up with creation of a poster displaying what they had learnt. In mid-2021, building on the success of the male cohort, Te Oranganui Trust initiated the development and implementation of a pilot programme for young girls.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Evaluation</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>The evaluation was completed utilising a collaborative approach whereby kaiarahi led interactive data collection sessions and undertook some of the key informant interviews. Whakauae supported this with a small survey and some face-to-face interviews with wh&#257;nau and external stakeholders.&nbsp; The analysis of the data was completed by the evaluator which was then sent to the Tapestry of Truth team to review for accuracy. The evaluation showed that the Tapestry of Truth programme was highly regarded by rangatahi, parents and caregivers and the Whanganui community and there were many positive outcomes for rangatahi and their wh&#257;nau. A final report was submitted to Te Hiringa Hauora at the end of 2021 and accepted.&nbsp; A booklet of summary findings will be released in early 2022.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"/uploads/images/Tapestry-carpentry.jpg\" style=\"height:488px; width:650px\" /><br />\r\n<em><span style=\"font-size:12px\"><span style=\"color:black\">Some of the carpentry projects built by Tapestry of Truth rangatahi participants</span></span></em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12px\"><span style=\"color:black\">February 2022</span></span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n<h2>&nbsp;</h2>\r\n\r\n<h2>Chatham Islands Wellbeing Study</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Lead researcher:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr Amohia Boulton</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Other Whakauae researchers:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Lynley Cvitanovic</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Utiku Potaka</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr Tanya Allport</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tom Johnson</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Independent research team members:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Teresa Taylor</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Description:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>In 2019 Whakauae were approached by Te Puni K&#333;kiri regarding the possibility of undertaking some research into the wellbeing needs of residents of the Chatham Islands. The aim of the study was to explore the self-identified wellbeing needs of the Islands&rsquo; population. It was expected that study findings would be used to advocate for more sustainable and longer-term targeted funding which better addresses wh&#257;nau/hunau needs.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The objectives of this kaupapa M&#257;ori project are to:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Describe wh&#257;nau assessments of current wh&#257;nau wellbeing;</li>\r\n	<li>Document the self-identified and unaddressed wellbeing needs of wh&#257;nau;</li>\r\n	<li>Identify the needs that can potentially be supported by agencies and services outside of the wh&#257;nau;</li>\r\n	<li>Identify challenges associated with adequately supporting unaddressed wellbeing needs; and,</li>\r\n	<li>Draw on study findings and a shared analysis to propose recommendations for service solutions with the greatest potential to enhance wh&#257;nau wellbeing.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Progress:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Whakauae were first approached to conduct the research in late 2019, and contracted with local provider, Ha O Te Ora Wharekauri Trust Community Services, to commence the work in early 2020. However, just prior to the team&rsquo;s first scheduled visit to the island in March 2020, the entire country was put into lockdown due to Covid-19 reaching Aotearoa. The uncertainties associated with Covid-19 severely delayed the start of the project &ndash; indeed the team&rsquo;s first physical visit to the island did not occur until early April 2021. At that time the team undertook whakawhanaungatanga and a first round of face-to-face individual and group interviews. A second visit to the Island occurred in June 2021 when the research team continued interviews and held a series of w&#257;nanga with community members and representatives from key organisations.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Recently with the spread of Covid-19 throughout the community, and the subsequent risks associated with the more contagious Delta variant, the team&rsquo;s ability to travel to the island has been impacted. Thus the third in a series of planned face-to-face visit to the Island has been postponed until 2022. The third visit is intended to be part of &ldquo;sense-making&rdquo; for the project findings, to present the analysis undertaken by the research team in late November 2021. The team at Whakauae are now looking forward to a more settled period in early 2022, so that we can return to the island and engage in the sense-making phase. At this time we will seek feedback from the community and project participants on key findings and recommendations, and explore the possible ways to ensure the uptake of these findings within specific systems/sectors responsible for the wellbeing of wh&#257;nau/hunau on the Chatham Islands.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"Whakauae Chatham Islands Wellbeing Study \" src=\"/uploads/images/Chatham-Islands-Wellbeing-Study.jpg\" style=\"height:488px; width:650px\" /><br />\r\n<em><span style=\"font-size:12px\">Moriori hunau (wh&#257;nau) welcome members of the WRS team at K&#333;pinga Marae in April 2021.</span></em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12px\">December 2021</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Te Ao Rauropi:</h2>\r\n\r\n<h2>Mapping the Biosphere of Rongo&#257; M&#257;ori</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Lead researcher:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr Amohia Bouton</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Other Whakauae researchers:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Gill Potaka-Osborne</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr Tanya Allport</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Independent research team members:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Donna Kerridge (Rongo&#257; practitioner)</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr Glenis Mark</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Description:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>This research project, exploring the deeper meaning of Rongo&#257; M&#257;ori (traditional M&#257;ori healing), is a three-year HRC funded study hosted by Whakauae Research.&nbsp;&nbsp; Building on previous work undertaken by members of the research team, the research will identify and articulate the contribution that Rongo&#257; makes to the health and wellbeing of the Aotearoa New Zealand population and to our environments, seek to reinstate wider understanding of the nature of Rongo&#257; and restore a M&#257;ori philosophy of wellbeing to our communities</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The project will collect data from both Rongo&#257; practitioners and their patients.

The research team brought together for the study include academics from the University of Auckland such as Professors Linda Nikora and Merryn Gott, Dr Amohia Boulton from Whakauae, health professionals such as Dr Keri Ratima, representatives from hospice, as well as other research assistants and students.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The research seeks to identify the barriers and facilitators M&#257;ori experience in using traditional care customs within different care settings (home, hospice, hospital and aged residential care). A number of resources will be developed to share information about care customs with diverse M&#257;ori wh&#257;nau, their communities and the palliative care sector. Planned resources include digital stories; an online educational resource; information on cultural care customs; helpful palliative care information; as well as peer reviewed articles.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Progress:</h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Over 60 stories from wh&#257;nau around Aotearoa were collected as part of this research project. Many of these have been made into a digital resource that can be accessed from a new website &ldquo;Te Ipu Aronui&rdquo;; an output from the Te Pae Herenga project. This online educational resource&nbsp;and website&nbsp;went live in late March with community launches in Hastings,&nbsp;P&#333;rangahau, Wellington and Whanganui.&nbsp;&nbsp;On the 30 March 2021, the Whanganui launch of the website was held. Hosted by Whanganui Hospice, the day began with a mihi whakatau to members of the research team, their kaumatua, clinicians, community researchers and members of the public. This was led by local Rongo&#257; practitioner, Marilyn Vreede and her husband Marty. Both Marilyn and another local Rongo&#257; practitioner, Mary Bennett, have contributed their stories as part of the research for inclusion <a href=\"https://www.teipuaronui.co.nz/kete-aronui-rongoa\" target=\"_blank\">on the website here</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>During the event, Dr Tess Moeke-Maxwell and Dr Merryn Gott gave an overview of the project and took us through a tour of the new website. In addition, we were treated to a glimpse of some of the 22 stories and given handy hints about navigating other website tabs.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Tess thanked members of her team: the Te &#256;rai Kahui kaumatua (Matua Joe, Whaea Whio, Matua Rawiri and Matua Aaron), senior academics and research assistants for traveling and supporting the launches in the regions.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This is an excellent resource that will be valuable for family caregivers and health professionals alike and we encourage people to take a look <a href=\"https://www.teipuaronui.co.nz/\" target=\"_blank\">at the website here</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"/uploads/images/Te-Pae-Herenga(1).jpg\" style=\"height:447px; width:650px\" /><br />\r\n<em><span style=\"font-size:12px\">From left: Marilyn Vreede (Rongo&#257; Practitioner, Whanganui); Prof Merryn Gott (Auckland University), Dr Tess Moeke Maxwell (Principal Investigator, Auckland University), Mary Bennett (Whanganui) and Dr Amohia Boulton (Whakauae Research).</span></em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12px\">April 2021</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Perceptions of Papak&#257;inga: An examination of &lsquo;home&rsquo; and how to cater services for M&#257;ori</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h4>Project Description</h4>\r\n\r\n<p><em>&lsquo;Perceptions of Papak&#257;inga: An examination of &lsquo;home&rsquo; and how to cater services for M&#257;ori&rsquo;</em> was a 12-month study undertaken by Whakauae Research in partnership with Wai Research to explore comparative M&#257;ori views of &lsquo;home&rsquo; in the Rangit&#299;kei and T&#257;maki Makaurau.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Funded by Ng&#257; Pae o te M&#257;ramatanga, the research project was designed to address the current lack of evidence and knowledge concerning M&#257;ori perceptions, experiences, and realities of what is needed from policy and service design for M&#257;ori to not just have a house, but to &lsquo;be at home&rsquo; where and how they choose. While &lsquo;home&rsquo; has been explored within research as a multifaceted concept, little is known about the different elements of &lsquo;home&rsquo; within M&#257;ori experience, or the diverse complexities that shape that experience.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"From left: Researchers Hector Kaiwai, Tanya Allport, Amohia Boulton and Gill Potaka-Osborne.

New Zealand&rsquo;s COVID-19 response has centralised &lsquo;home&rsquo; as the &lsquo;safest place to be&rsquo;, specifically during level 3 and 4 lock-down measures. Home is seen as a place of wellbeing, which contrasts to &lsquo;away from home&rsquo; places as potential sites of infection and subsequent personal and public health impacts. However, the essence of what forms a place of wellbeing for Maori is not generally included or acknowledged in government discourses around &lsquo;home&rsquo;, and is therefore inadequately represented within polices, resourcing and services.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The findings from the <em>Papak&#257;inga</em> project contribute to understanding the meanings of &lsquo;home&rsquo; for three different generations of M&#257;ori living in different geographical locations, and how these meanings shape the perception of &lsquo;being well at home&rsquo;.&nbsp; The place and function of cultural elements that relate to &lsquo;home&rsquo;, such as &lsquo;t&#363;rangawaewae&rsquo;, &lsquo;papak&#257;inga&rsquo; and &lsquo;ahi k&#257;&rsquo; were highlighted in relationship to identity, whakapapa, and hauora within the participants&rsquo; perceptions of &lsquo;home&rsquo;.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>By investigating the views, attitudes, and perceptions of M&#257;ori community members in two distinct locations, the research has been able to identify that &lsquo;home&rsquo; is more than a spatial notion, and that there are a range of holistically connected aspects that need to be considered if we are to deliver effective and sustainable solutions around M&#257;ori being &lsquo;at home&rsquo;.&nbsp; As M&#257;ori meanings of &lsquo;home&rsquo; are adapting, developing, and changing, especially in the current COVID-19 context, the findings from this research contribute to the significant thinking that needs to influence future policy direction and highlight areas that require further investigation.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The first of a planned series of peer-reviewed journal papers was published in 2020 (Boulton, A., Nee, J.,&nbsp;Allport, T.&nbsp;(2020) Hauk&#257;inga - A Review of M&#257;ori concepts of &#39;home&#39;. Whakauae Research Services Ltd, Te P&#363;take - Whakauae Raro Occasional Paper Series, Number 1, August 2020.) <a href=\"https://www.whakauae.co.nz/publications/occasional-papers/15/\">this can be viewed and downloaded here</a>. A second is currently under review and a third in the final stages of preparation for submission. The findings of the Papak&#257;inga project have also been presented at the 9th Biennial International Indigenous Research Conference 2020.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Furthermore, two dissemination videos featuring particpants&rsquo; k&#333;rero of &lsquo;home&rsquo; have been created with the help of funding from the Health Research Council. The video with of the T&#257;maki Makaurau participants can be found at the <a href=\"https://wairesearch.waipareira.com/perceptions-of-papakainga/\" target=\"_blank\">Wai Research website here</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>A video featuring the Rangit&#299;kei participants is on this website and <a href=\"https://www.whakauae.co.nz/view/perceptions-of-papakainga/23/\">can be viewed here</a>.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12px\">April 2021</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<hr />\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Awa FM Research Project</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><img alt=\"From left Amohia Boulton, Whetu Fala, Gill Potaka-Osborne with the flyer.\" src=\"/uploads/images/awa-fm-march-21.jpg\" style=\"height:488px; width:650px\" /><br />\r\n<em><span style=\"font-size:12px\">From left Amohia Boulton, Whetu Fala, Gill Potaka-Osborne with the flyer.</span></em></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>At the end of 2020, Whakauae Research Services and Awa FM (Te Reo Irirangi o Whanganui) came together to discuss a joint research project. The aim of this two-stage project is to gain an understanding of how te reo is adding to the quality of life for M&#257;ori in the Awa FM broadcast region.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Subsequently, in February 2021, Whakauae completed the first stage of this project by analysing the survey data collected by Awa FM at Pakaitore Day 2020. Three high level themes were identified from the results of the 2020 Awa FM Listener Survey, namely that:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>the <strong>content</strong> played on Awa FM should be relevant for all ages and reflect Whanganui, including local news, waiata, stories, history, tikanga and Te Reo;</li>\r\n	<li><strong>announcers</strong> were a critical component of Awa FM and more wahine M&#257;ori should be encouraged; and</li>\r\n	<li>improving <strong>transmission</strong>, and the modes of transmission (including greater use of multimedia platforms and social media) was critical for broad reach.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p>Prior to Pakaitore Day 2021, and following an invitation to Whakauae&rsquo;s offices, Awa FM staff were presented with an infographic flyer outlining high level results. Flyers were to be distributed to wh&#257;nau who attended the Marae Waka Ama challenge and the 2021 Pakaitore celebrations however, these celebrations were deferred due to concerns regarding Covid-19. Flyers are available from Awa FM offices, and will be distributed by Awa FM at other community hui. Whakauae are also drafting a more detailed report of the survey findings due for completion at the end of April 2021.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12px\">March 2021</span></p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong><a href=\"https://www.whakauae.co.nz/page/project-updates-archive/9/19/\">You can view older updates in the archive here.</a></strong></p>\r\n', '', '', '', 0, 0, '', 'y', 'y', '', '', '', '');
