Waikato University, Kirikiriroa

9:30am: Jackson Rowe-Williams, (Ngāpuhi-nui-tonu) and Sally Boyd (tangata tiriti), Kairangahau Matua, NZCER.

This presentation and workshop is centred around the paper:Hei whakaarotanga: Engaging with models of health and wellbeing that draw on mātauranga Māori. This paper by Nicola Bright and Sally Boyd from NZCER explores a range of health and wellbeing models that draw on mātauranga Māori. Its wider intention is to support and prompt groups to be good partners under Te Tiriti o Waitangi and consider how to explore or measure wellbeing in ways that are meaningful to Māori and non-Māori.  During this session we encourage groups to reflect on:

• three health and wellbeing models and how they might be using them

• ways of taking care when making use of models that draw on mātauranga Māori to ensure our mahi upholds the cultural, political, and social responsibilities implicit in Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
