<p>Today we release the second paper in <em>Te P&#363;take - Whakauae Raro, Whakauae&rsquo;s Occasional Paper Series</em> - an online space to explore the aspirations, challenges and important new issues arising for M&#257;ori.</p>

<p>Bro Ora -revitalising t&#257;ne M&#257;ori wellbeing through an awa lens, by Tom Johnson, examines the issue of wellbeing for t&#257;ne M&#257;ori in the rohe of Whanganui. Building on current literature that examines colonisation as a driving factor in the genderisation of t&#257;ne M&#257;ori, as well as the existing wellbeing gaps for t&#257;ne Maori, the paper highlights existing knowledge gaps, and proposes a &ldquo;Bro Ora&rdquo; approach as a way in which to re-create t&#257;ne M&#257;ori wellbeing using M&#257;tauranga M&#257;ori.</p>

<p>Whakauae&rsquo;s <em>Occasional Paper Series</em> was started in 2020 to provide a forum for original research, review, commentary and reflective essays on issues of relevance to wh&#257;nau, hap&#363; and Iwi M&#257;ori. <em>Bro Ora - revitalising t&#257;ne M&#257;ori wellbeing through an awa lens</em> can be <a href="https://www.whakauae.co.nz/publications/occasional-papers/15/">found here</a>.</p>
