Te Whare Tapu o Te Ngākau Māori is a framework developed to support the growth of a new education system that acknowledges all people as ākonga (learners). It is premised on the Marae as the bastion of Te Ao Māori, Te Reo Māori me ona tikanga and the many journeys it requires through a process to develop an understanding of Te Ao Māori and therefore a bicultural worldview.

Te Whare Tapu o Te Ngākau Māori is a framework developed to support the growth of a new education system that acknowledges all people as ākonga (learners). It is premised on the Marae as the bastion of Te Ao Māori, Te Reo Māori me ona tikanga and the many journeys it requires through a process to develop an understanding of Te Ao Māori and therefore a bicultural worldview.

Throughout the history of the education system in Aotearoa Māori have felt the intentional absence of Te Ao Māori, Te Reo Māori me ōna tikanga. Ākonga Māori (Māori learners) have been subjected to education that does not value the way in which Māori view the world and her people. Over the past 170 years of western education, Māori have consistently found themselves at the base of western expectations. The teaching of Aotearoa’s children has been discriminatory and biased and has ensured the plan of colonisation and assimilation has continued in pedagogy still evident today.


This resource is for educators of willing learners. It contains a pathway to realising each individual's unique contribution to a bicultural society with Mana Orite at the heart of engagement. Te Whare Tapu o Te Ngākau Māori is a journey through the inherent concepts of Te Ao Māori realised through developing an understanding of Ngākau Māori.
