Our vision is to become a wellspring of innovation, well-being, and inspiration for Iwi, for Māori communities and for Indigenous peoples.

Te Kotahi Research Institute is the unified vision of Te Rōpū Manukura, a unique advisory body representing iwi

within the University’s region. Our name ‘Te Kotahi’ reflects this unity of purpose, drawing together concepts of

unity, oneness and togetherness. The Institute also draws inspiration from Sir Robert Te Kotahi Mahuta, the founding

Director of the Centre of Māori Studies Research. We share his vision to generate resources to settle Raupatu (land

confiscations) and create momentum for iwi development for the future benefit of the nation.

Te Kotahi Research Institute has been established to enhance engagement in research and development (R&D)

by improving access to research and providing pathways for innovation. R&D plays a vital role in wealth creation.

Increasing Māori engagement in these activities has the potential to contribute greatly to the Māori economy.

However, the real value lies in how that additional wealth is used to transform and create well-being for Iwi,

Māori, Indigenous communities and society.

He tirohanga kua tinana | A vision realised

• Undertake research that will accelerate development and lead to social,

economic, environmental and cultural well-being

• Apply mātauranga Māori, diverse Māori perspectives, Indigenous knowledge and disciplinary

knowledge in order to develop innovative approaches to research and development

Ō tātou taonga tuku iho | Our Heritage

Te Kotahi Research Institute draws on a rich heritage of teaching and research in Māori language, culture and

sociology at the University of Waikato. This heritage is widely acknowledged to have helped lead the resurgence of

‘te reo me ōna tikanga’ over the past three decades, and to have helped resource claims brought before the Waitangi

Tribunal in driving iwi development.

Ō tātou Pakiaka | Our Roots

The University of Waikato was the first New Zealand University to establish a stand-alone Māori Department in the

early 1970s and to establish the Centre of Māori Studies Research in 1972, which over ensuing years helped generate

a wealth of research for and about Māori that crosses into every faculty of the University.

The university has continued to build a breadth of research. Recent and current examples include;

• investigating the extraction of titanium from iwi-owned Taharoa iron sands,

• harvesting water weed for use as a biofuel and to assist iwi waterway management,

• working to ensure significant computer applications have a Māori language interface for example; Microsoft

Windows, Microsoft Office, Moodle, the Google Web Search, the Google Translator Toolkit,

• researching iwi leadership and governance,

• documenting the world of Māori tattooing (Mau Moko) and its modern resurgence,

• establishing a Māori framework for evaluating policy, planning and environmental outcomes under the 1991

Resource Management Act,

• researching and leading culturally responsive professional development for teachers enabling increased Māori

educational achievement,

• investigating how support for Māori culture affects workplace relations,

• researching the health and social needs of young Māori.

From the historical Ballantrae and Pei Te Hurinui Jones collections of taonga and archival records, to the doctoral

theses of our emerging researchers, the University provides a significant and burgeoning source of material and

knowledge relevant to iwi and Māori across all fields of study and enterprise.

Mahi ngātahi me te Iwi | Working with Iwi

In addition to undertaking independent research, Te Kotahi Research Institute will work to meet the research and

development aspirations of Māori communities. Our primary connections are with iwi in the central North Island

region served by the University which are represented on Te Rōpū Manukura. Te Rōpū Manukura was established in

1990 as the Kaitiaki (guardian) of the Treaty of Waitangi for the University of Waikato. In keeping with our vision,

we have worked with Māori and iwi stakeholders including Te Rōpū Manukura to identify areas that are pivotal to

their continuing development.

Strategic Step Change | Māori entities in the science sector

Te Hau Mihi Ata | Mātauranga Māori, Science & Biotechnology

This project explores ways to link mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge traditions) and western science and

technology to tap into the potential for innovative thinking that could shape new directions in science. A collaborative

research team of Māori educated in western-based science, and experts in mātauranga Māori, who have been led

by Professor Linda Smith, is focusing on novel biotechnologies where there is a clear divergence of views, but where

transformational thinking has the potential to deliver innovation. The expectation is that by working together, Māori

scientists and mātauranga Māori knowledge holders will create new knowledge that can be used for wealth creation,

as well as delivering social, cultural and environmental benefits. This project is being funded over four years by the

Ministry for Science and Innovation.

The aim of this project is to look at existing examples of engagement between Māori entities and the science

sector to determine where the obstacles are and the means of correcting or preventing them. Our objective is to

explore what strategies have been used by Māori entities to deal with the dilemma caused by this misalignment,

and how these strategies have potentially changed the rules of engagement and contributed to the growth and

development of the entities. This collaborative project between BERL and Te Kotahi Research Institute is funded

by Te Puni Kōkiri.

The role of resiliency in enhancing health and well-being in Indigenous communities

This international Indigenous collaboration across Australia, New Zealand and Canada has explored resistance

and resilience; the ways in which Indigenous communities use their strengths to protect themselves and enhance

their health and well-being in relation to blood-borne viruses (BBVs) and sexually transmitted infections (STI’s).

The project has used Indigenous and interdisciplinary approaches to determine how Indigenous people are able to

protect themselves from infections such as hepatitis C and HIV despite the high rates found in some Indigenous

communities across these countries. The New Zealand arm of the study, Mauri Tū Mauri Ora, – funded over three

years by the Health Research Council - included researchers Dr Clive Aspin, (University of Sydney), Dr Mihi Ratima,

Dr Nigel Dickson, (Dunedin School of Medicine), Dr Rhys Jones (University of Auckland) and Professor Linda Smith

(University of Waikato).

This scoping project was commissioned by the Independent Māori Statutory Board (IMSB) to inform the development

of an evaluation methodology for mana whenua and mātaawaka well-being in Tāmaki Makaurau. The project aims to

identify the issues associated with measuring well-being, how Māori outcomes and measures have been included in

council planning documents, and a preferred approach for developing a framework of mana whenua and mātaawaka

well-being.

Tipping Points | The Relationship between Māori youth workforce participation and mental health

Te Toi Roa | Towards an Evaluation Methodology for Mana Whenua and Mātaawaka Well-Being in Tāmaki Makaurau

The project, led by Professor Linda Smith, is a collaboration between Te Kotahi Research Institute, National Institute

for Demographic and Economic Analysis, Māori and Psychology Research Unit and Pou Tuia Rangahau from Te

Rūnanga o Kirikiriroa to identify the relationship between Māori youth workforce participation and Māori mental

health and to explore ‘tipping points’, risk factors relating to workforce participation which cause Māori youth to

experience mental health issues. This project is funded by Te Pou o te Whakaaro Nui, the National Centre of Mental

Health Research, Information and Workforce Development.

Thought Space Wānanga

Māori in leadership roles work in complicated contexts having to manage collective aspirations, design and implement

high level strategies, engage with diverse stakeholder interests and, simultaneously manage the minutiae of day to

day operational life. While many leaders have become experts at multi-tasking and making decisions on the run – it is

not good for their well-being or the quality of thought that goes into leadership decision-making. In this programme

we enhance thinking around key issues of Māori development to influence the courses of action that leaders and

managers take in their work.

Te Wheke a Toi

Te Wheke a Toi is a postdoctoral academic career development programme in which the University of Waikato,

AUT and the University of Auckland are collaborating to train six Postdoctoral Fellows (Three Māori and three

Pacific Island Fellows). This postdoctoral programme assists Fellows to develop a teaching and supervision portfolio

alongside their research work. The programme is unique in that they will participate in doctoral supervision alongside

senior mentors. The training programme is delivered by each institution as well as through a series of workshops that

provide opportunities for all Fellows to work collaboratively.

MAI ki Waikato

MAI (Māori and Indigenous) ki Waikato is the Waikato arm of Te Kupenga o MAI, a national network of key

organisations focused on the accelerated development of Māori and Indigenous Doctoral candidates. Te Kupenga o

MAI is an integral part of the capability building programme of Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga, the National Institute

of Research Excellence for Māori Development and Advancement. The Waikato arm, MAI ki Waikato, runs an annual

programme of meetings and workshops for Māori and Indigenous PhD students who are enrolled or interested in

enrolling in a doctoral programme.
