<p>A recently released Special Issue of the <em>International Journal of Human Rights Education</em> includes a paper written by Whakauae Director, Dr Amohia Boulton in partnership with colleagues, Dr Glenis Mark (Ng&#257; Puhi, Tainui, Ng&#257;i Tahu, Ng&#257;ti Koata) and Donna Kerridge (Ng&#257;ti Tahinga, Ng&#257;ti Mahuta, Ng&#257;ti Maniapoto). &lsquo;Rongo&#257; M&#257;ori is not a Complementary and Alternative Medicine: Rongo&#257; M&#257;ori is a way of life&rsquo;, features alongside papers contributed by other Indigenous women worldwide in the Special Issue titled, <em>Indigenous Women and Research: Global Conversations on Indigeneity, Rights, and Education</em>. Among those included in the Special Issue are papers that explore Indigenous language revitalisation, Indigenous women&rsquo;s approaches to education leadership and the connections between sacred spaces and Indigenous health.</p>

<p>Drs Boulton and Mark, with Donna Kerridge, contributed the only paper included in the Special Issue from Aotearoa New Zealand. The three authors previously worked together on a &nbsp;Ng&#257; Pae o Te M&#257;ramatanga Kia T&#333; Kia Tipu Seeding Excellence research project. They conducted research with participants representing the rongo&#257;, research, scientific and legal sectors. Selected experts in these fields were consulted to gain an understanding of the issues involved in undertaking Rongoa&#772; research in a manner that ensures the integrity of the research for the benefit of Rongoa&#772; Ma&#772;ori and for Ma&#772;ori people. The research led to the production of <em>Cultural, Ethical, Research, Legal, Scientific (CERLS), Issues of Rongo&#257; M&#257;ori</em>, a guideline for researchers and healers engaged in Rongo&#257; research. Whakauae, in conjunction with Ng&#257; Pae o Te M&#257;ramatanga, launched the CERLS guideline for researchers and healers engaged in Rongo&#257; research late in 2018.</p>
